No CommentsWhat Is An Oxymoron
Description
A video detailing what an oxymoron is as well as providing several examples.
Overview
An oxymoron (plural oxymora (greek plural) or, more often, oxymorons) (”sharply dull” in Greek) is a figure of speech that combines two normally contradictory terms. They appear in a range of contexts, from inadvertent errors such as extremely average, to deliberate puns like same difference, to literary oxymorons that have been carefully crafted to reveal a paradox.
