SAY WHAT?
July 13th is "Oxymoron Day!"
Just in case you forgot or missed that
day in English class, an oxymoron
is a figure of speech or a combination
of words spoken or written together
which contradictory. For instance
"Climb down.: The act of climbing
is a movement upward so the suggestion
that you "climb down" is contradictory.
Here are a few others. Freezer burn,
unbiased opinion, icy hot, civil war, or
good grief (that's Charley Brown's
favorite. Ever hear anyone who loves
winter say "I hope the snow keeps up."
But if the snow 'keeps up' then it won't
come down! A lot of these things are
spoken or written without much
thought. But feel free to spread them
around today in honor of Oxymoron
Day! Maybe you just like using them
and are deceptively honest. Hope all
your NEWS is good!
