Some people will always need a source of credibility to take hold to any idea or concept. You know what, we give. But according to the dictionary (what could possibly be more authoritatively correct?), contradictory terms can be used in conjunction, or so says the definition of “oxymoron.” Enjoy a few of our favorite oxymorons, proving one phrase at a time that no two concepts are completely mutually exclusive. Jumbo Shrimp – A literally little reminder that everything is relative. Sure, shrimp may mean small, but this particular prawn is still jumbo when compared to its popcorn brethren. Better Half – What is a half but an equal part of something else? Hopefully, this doesn’t knock your significant other down a peg or two. It’s simply meant to be an example of how emotion can make rationalization illogical. Civil War -Take a lesson from history. At least 620,000 soldiers would argue the conflict could have been handled in a more courteous, civilized manner. Designer T-Shirts – Until Ed Hardy finally sells his last shirt, apparently some people are still willing to believe such a thing exists. Economic Stability -If you are hoping for an end to the Great Recession you better use a little left brain. Economics is a naturally cyclical science, thus cannot be stable. That is, unless, you want it to bottom out entirely. You can’t get more stable than zero. Instant Classic – Should something only being around for a little while preclude it from being timelessly awesome? If you said yes, congrats, you hate babies, puppies and kittens.Dressy Casual – In layman’s terms, it means be comfortable but don’t look comfortable. You’ll probably only run into this when asked to RSVP to something, but remember, brides and pregnant women are generally allowed to not make sense. Almost Done – Don’t worry, this our last sentence, but notice as you pan across these words you aren’t completely finished, are you? Well, now you are.
