oxymoron

=== **Oxymorons** (or **oxymora**) are literary figures of speech usually composed of a pair of neighbouring contradictory words (often within a sentence). However this is not always the case. The //Webster Dictionary// defines **oxymoron** as "a combination of contradictory or incongruous words". ===
