Oxymoron = O: Blogging from A to Z Challenge

Wow, we've made it to the big O. Wait, that didn't come out exactly as I had planned. *winks*

Last year, I wrote about Onomatopoeia . Such a rhythmic sound. I always imagine it as a Julie Andrew's song. But, in the interest of covering new territory, this year I decided to go with Oxymoron.

Oxymoron
(Merriam-Webster)
A combination of contradictory or incongruous words (as cruel kindness); broadly : something (as a concept) that is made up of contradictory or incongruous elements.

I love a good oxymoron! Earlier this month, I discussed Juxtaposition for J . Juxtaposition in a lot of ways is an extended oxymoron, since it lasts longer than a brief phrase. But there's something deceptively honest about a good contradictory phrase.

I'm from the South, and there are many examples of oxymoron that we Southern gals use on a daily basis. My favorites:
