What is your definition of an "Oxy Moron?"?

I'd like to know your version of an oxy moron. For whatever reason, this fascinates me!

    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

    IMO, it's a self defeating statement.

    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".

    A contradictory statement.

    For example:

    Tight Slacks

    Deafening silence

    Rap Music ;D

    oxymoron is a special form of antithesis whereby two contradictory qualities are predicted at once for the same thing as in pretty ugly, falsely true.

    Oxymoron means "putting words together which seem to contradict one another".

    For example: bitter-sweet
