An oxymoron is an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result.

Some examples include ā€œdeafening silenceā€, ā€œalone togetherā€, or ā€œliving deadā€. There is a phrase that contradicts each of the definitions and connotations, ultimately creating a humorous effect. Typically an oxymoron will include a positive and a negative adjective.
