Here are a few oxymorons and their meanings:
- A fine mess - a mess is bad but a fine mess is worse than that.
- Deafening silence - silence that is so great that it almost feels resounding.
- Big baby - a baby that is larger than average/heavier than average.
e.g. dirty white,
accurate rumour,
act naturally,
alone together,
bad luck,
bittersweet,
burning cold
etc.
Fun, are they not? Go try to construct some of your own oxymorons!
