I’ve decided to add a new category to my website, entitled Oxymorons.

I love these little contradictory phrases, so in my search to find the best oxymorons, I will be posting them to my blog!

It is defined as:

A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in a deafening silence and a mournful optimist.

Let’s get started:

• Old news – this is a classic example.
• Stiff drink – this has received mixed opinions, but I am certain it is an oxymoron.
• Dry ice – what prompted me to add this post.

If anyone has any decent oxymorons, get them posted in the comments!
