O is for Oxymora

Yes !! Oxymora is the plural of Oxymoron in case you didn't know(just came to know very recently)

Life for me is a paradox and what more can be more fun than using Oxymora. An oxymoron is a figure of speech in which words that seem contradictory appear together to form a fun combination. Some  of my favorites are Military Intelligence, Original Copies, Exact Estimate, Old News,Living Dead, Deafening Silence and my personal best is Microsoft Works, :D

Here is a link to some really good oxymora......

    "O" stands for OUTBACK in Australia! A land of oxymora of ever there was one!

    What a fun post. I checked out that link.. it's a great one. For some reason, one of my favourites was "cheerful pessimist" as I've always had the feeling some people rather enjoy being miserable.

    OK, even though I have to use it all the time, Microsoft Works has to be the best. - Margy

    O for outstanding too :)
    I love Bollywood & how lovely that you have shared a catchy Hindi Movie song :)
    Am sure it's the debut of a Hindi movie-song here on ABC Wednesday, right?!
    O is also for - The other Ooh-la-la more-recent song from the movie 'The Dirty Picture' picturised on Vidya Balan :)
