The rest of my favorites have been used. :(



And BTW, "big baby" is not an oxymoron, as the two words do not inherently contradict eachother. Neither is "anti-christ", "santa anna", "bloody mary", or "Saint bernard".

In a way they sorta are, the last ones you said that wern't oxymorons, that is.

Anti-Christ: "Anti" means that it is aginst. "Christ", in christianity, is God, and God loves all things in the Universe.

Santa Anna: "Santa" is like Santa Clause, and "Anna" is like the Mexican general who hated Texas and America.

Bloody-Marry: "Bloody" is how it sounds, and "mary" was the woman who gave birth to Jesus Christ in Christianity.

Saint bernard: "Saints" are good, happy, neat people, and the dog itself is messy, sloppy, obnoctious, and loud.


And people, please try not to fight. It's not verry nice, and you could hurt some other people's feelings, which isn't nice either. Don't be meanie-heads, and just let us all get along, nicely and happily, forever, and ever, and ever, and ever. :D :D :D

*smashes chair on random person's head*

ow sorry.. what were you saying?

I was saying that the word "Oxymoron" is an "Oxymoron."

"Big baby" is not an oxymoron, as some babies are considerably bigger than others. The insult is also not an oxymoron because it is not implying that you are the size of the baby but that you whine more than one.

My favorite oxymoron is about intelligent women.

---

An oxymoron just has to be two contradictory terms. So it doesn't matter what they are meant in the context. That's why 'pretty ugly' is an oxymoron even if I say "It looks pretty ugly to me." Or Civil War, the Civil is for Civil Rights, not being in a mannerly fashion.
