OXYMORONS IV

An oxymoron is a figure of speech using seemingly contradictory words or ideas. The contrast is intended to draw attention to the implied meaning, as in "sweet sorrow." At other times the contrast is just a curiosity of language, as in "press release."

3. Blissful pain
4. Sure bet

6. Absolutely no chance
7. Same difference
8. Still moving
9. True story
10. Unacceptable solution
11. Unbiased opinion
12. Virtual reality
13. New tradition
14. Ill health
15. Only choice
16. Minor crisis
17. Civil disobedience
18. Seriously funny
19. Safety hazard
20. False positive
21. Relative stranger
22. You simply must stop taking advice from other people.
23. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it left.
