There are compassionate conservatives. I'm one. And, supposedly, the liberals are the "intellectuals" so that really wouldn't be an oxymoron.

I was naïve enough to believe that this thread would contain actually oxymorons. The only one that could be an oxymoron is "Just War", its status of an oxymoron depending what one defines "Just" as. Not that I have anything against jokes, of course.

American Intelligence

:p

ROFLMAO!!! I see what you're saying, but I honestly don't think that qualifies as an oxymoron. It should be a phrase everyone uses ... something like "Sober Irishman." :D

I take it back. "Living dead" is an oxymoron. "Christian science" probably is too.

LOL! Good ones, e-daughter! But, that "Happily Married" one kinda worries me, y'know? :eek:

I like "Microsoft Works" the best, personally.

Microsoft Works
That's a good one!

And to anyone not familiar w/ Etrusca, this thread was far from flamebaiting.
You'd have to read his previous posts to get his sense of humor.

ROFL!! Um ... is that good or bad? Or do I want to know?? :eek:

LOL that is the best Oximoron I heard in a long time!

I'm surprised nobody used "Holy War" yet.
There's also:
simply difficult, the word "oxymoron", cold as hell, and since you're going anti-american, how's "British Rule"

ROFL!! Um ... is that good or bad? Or do I want to know?? :eek:
Very good. For some reason, I think you'd be the coolest Grandpa! (Though I never got to know mine!)

You do the "got your nose" thing a lot, don't you?
And I bet you spoil 'em rotten!

Someone mentioned "Oxymoron" as an oxymoron, so they took mine.

Heh, I like Head Butt and Dodge Ram. Those are certainly oxymoronic.

Christian Science is a funny thing. I know some people that believe it's neither Christian, nor Science.

Very good. For some reason, I think you'd be the coolest Grandpa! (Though I never got to know mine!)

Thank you! I value that compliment greatly. My grandchildren think I'm pretty kewl too, but then again they have no basis for comparison. :D

Yes, I do the "got your nose" thang, and the "my thumb is detachable" thang too. :)

And yes, I most definitely spoil them tee-total rotten! Heh! :D

Microsoft Works Hehehehe. Funny

Friendly fire... :eek: :mp5:

Holy War is a good one... :(

I would first like to establish that my preferred plural of "oxymoron" is "oxymora". It is the Greek plural, and is accepted in English.

Home Schooling
Almost, but no dice. School is derived from the Greek scholê, "discussion or lecture", and those can certainly take place at home or at a facility spefically designed for education.

Microsoft Works
Best. One. Ever.

Benevolent dictator
I see where you're coming from, but, as I've said before, every form of government is perfect, it's just the people that screw it up.

Someone mentioned "Oxymoron" as an oxymoron, so they took mine.
I don't remember that, but if it traced to its etymological roots, then that is correct. It comes from the Greek oxys, "sharp or keen", and môros, "foolish".

Have a wonderful day.

This reminds me: One of the old political parties in Canada used to be called "Liberal Conservatives". At the time, that wasn't even considered an oxymoron.

one of the drivers at the pizza place i work at has a habit of 2 oxycotin 80s per day, they cost about 40 bucks each. he owes everyone he knows money and he's always trying to steal delivery tickets... now there is an oxymoron if there ever was one:rolleyes:

I thought it was "Progressive Conservatives," which is definitely an oxymoron.

Well, they were the Liberal Conservatives, then the Progressive Conservatives, and now they're just called the Conservatives since they united with the Alliance.
