The study of oxymorons has long been pondered on and discussed by the greek. (They used to think a lot). For the newbie, an oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines two or more contradicting terms. For those who don't know what contradicting is, please refer to a dictionary. Spare me. Please.
A pretty ugly example of an oxymoron could be uh... "pretty ugly"? (That got to you didn't it?).
But actually, the point of this whole thing is an oxymoron that's been around for ages. It is so subtle that the very fact that it is an oxymoron has been lost in the sands of time. On the other hand, it has recently been made famous by Zinedine Zidane the football player. Time to kill the suspense.
Headbutt!!!
Beautiful ain't it? An oxymoron if I ever saw one myself. Just look at it! Two contradictory words just sitting there, joined at the hip, looking at you innocently, don't you think? The ultimate oxymoron, in my opinion. Just imagine, two opposite ends of universally EVERYTHING would be considered heads and butts. So it would only suffice that something so unique be given the title of the ultimate oxymoron.
What say ye?
