oxymoron

an oxymoron is a playful `paradox`, wrapping `contradiction` in a cozy embrace. it's like a linguistic gymnast, bending together words that don't seem to fit, yet somehow they perform harmoniously. think of it as a verbal yin and yang, where opposites not only attract but dance cheek to cheek. a few examples: deafening silence – when the quiet is so overpowering, you can almost hear it. bittersweet – like the last bite of chocolate as a favorite movie ends, it's joy laced with sadness. jumbo shrimp – a tiny giant of the sea, small in size but big on name. seriously funny – laughing till it hurts, because it's that hilarious. awfully pretty – striking beauty that surprises, more than just pleasing to the eye. each oxymoron brings together two contradictory elements that, against all odds, end up making perfect sense.
