Sagot :

An oxymoron is an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result.

Some examples include “deafening silence”, “alone together”, or “living dead”. There is a phrase that contradicts each of the definitions and connotations, ultimately creating a humorous effect. Typically an oxymoron will include a positive and a negative adjective.
