What are your favorite oxymorons?
Last week I posted some Redundant Redundancies so this week I thought I'd post some more word fun with oxymorons.
An oxymoron is defined as a figure of speech containing two normally contradictory words. Here are some I found. Please add yours!

Oh, another one – “bittersweet.”
