Someone said I was the smartest idiot they've ever met.
That's a title I'm almost proud of. Almost.

 

[tomtom94]

There are no oxymorons, there is only doublethink.

Since you ask, intelligent celebrity.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

A smart blonde is a classic one.

My dad once answered someone at work who asked him if he was going to be coming by saying "There's a definite possiblity that I will in". It's always stuck in my mind. Can't for the life of me think why.

 

[IcyEvils]

Organised Chaos has to be mine, though I like "Religious Expert".

 

[eggy32]

I'm not sure what my favorite is but Danny Ocean, how is monopoly an oxymoron?

 

[crazyfoxdemon]

'When Hell Freezes Over'.. I always laugh at this, since according to Christian mythology, the bottom layer of Hell is a frozen wasteland since it is far away from the 'Warmth of God'

I'm not sure what my favorite is but Danny Ocean, how is monopoly an oxymoron?

Mono generally means singular- e.g. Monobrow (one eyebrow).
Poly means multiple- e.g. Polymer (repeating structural units).

So it could be seen as one-many, or single-multiple. Oxymoron, see?

[Buzz Killington_v1legacy]

Poly means multiple- e.g. Polymer (repeating structural units).

Not in "monopoly". The -poly part comes from a Greek verb meaning "to sell".
