I never heard the word oxymorons before. What is the definition?

Straight from the dictionary:
"a figure of speech by which a locution produces an incongruous, seemingly self-contradictory effect, as in “cruel kindness” or “to make haste slowly.” "

Oh...thanks Jane. I should have looked it up myself, but thought it was a JJ word. Ya never know.

hehehe....so true!

Up the down staircase;
poor little rich girl;
laugh till you cry;
sad songs make me happy;
little, big town;
winner in a losing game...

Wow, bonnierose....is that a list or a poem??

ladyjane,
That's just my oxymoron quick list. Those are the ones that came to mind, right off. At least that's the way I see 'em. Sorry, for the confusion.
