Oxymoron is usually a compound word that is comprised of opposites. As in Jumbo Shrimp, or Cold Sweats, or Military Intelligence Longer phrases that exemplify this same tactic are actually paradoxes and not an Oxymoron

One part of the statement negates something that's been said in the same statement previously...
ex.: He was a "brilliant moron" or It's "clear as mud".
