What are your favorite oxymora (plural for oxymoron) ? I always found these pretty amusing and funny to hear. Let me start off:
Act naturally
Found missing
Good grief
Almost exactly
Living dead
Small crowd
Sweet sorrow
Clearly misunderstood
Pretty ugly
Working vacation
Exact estimate
"An oxymoron is a consecutive set of words expressing conflicting meanings. In most cases, oxymora (or oxymorons to the mora among us) are obvious to us, like adult children. But sometimes they hide in plain sight like don't do or top floor. In any case, their population seems to be exploding, probably because they tickle the humorous humerus."
In the above post, "oxymorons" is red lined, oxymora is not.
"Oxymorons" and "oxymora" are both correct, according to my dictionary. I prefer oxymora.
