redundant

cat hallucination · Post by **cat hallucination** » 21 Oct 2009, 23:51

oxymoron is the one i was looking for. i'm thinking about calling someone an oxymoron when they condradict themselves.

most of those aren't really contradictory unless you assume mutual exclusivity for each and every adjective

Haunty · Post by **Haunty** » 21 Oct 2009, 23:57

True, but I managed to get what he was after, so...

I don't know. Think of five or six true oxymorons off the top of your head.

i just scanned the definition on wiki and was reminded that the true definition of an oxymoron is for when something is "suprisingly true, a paradox."

so like karmablade is a really smart hard-on bearer.

well in fairness i think only the appearance of contradiction is necessary to satisfy the requirements, so even if the examples given aren't necessarily contradictory, they still get to join the oxymoron party

No no that is a fallacy, not an oxymoron.

Will you slide into the ether of mystique? Justify your answer.
