Oxymoron

An oxymoron consists of contradictory words that are placed together. Writers use this device to achieve several effects. I think these guys are headed down a dead end though.

    This reminds me of 2 kids I heard squabbling in the hall the other day. I redirected them - while trying not to laugh. :-)

    The word matches its meaning too! (with a bit of an imagination, lol). Okay, maybe not.

    You really shouldn't use a word if you don't know the meaning. But, that doesn't seem to stop anyone...

    I slowly hasten to remind you two guys that battles like these are often lost and won with a few words.

    One bright morning in the middle of the night
    Two dead boys got up to fight
    Back to back they faced one another
    Pulled out their swords and shot each other... :D
