I recently saw a movie trailer (cant recall the name though) last year in which in one scene a boy and older guy plays a game where they come up with oxymorons.....well lets see what oxymorons you know...
for those who may not know what it is....no its not a person who takes a particular precription drug, (Rush)
in time you ll get it.
okay here's my few that I came up with.
"awfully good" job
"Fine Mess" you got us into
"pressing the start button to turn it off"
"pretty ugly"
Faster, Better, Cheaper
Revised to:
Faster,Better, Deeper
Context: The motto of NASA mission planning and development around the 1990-2000 timeframe. After creating a few pieces of space, planetary debris, and more than one unintentional crater "we" corrected it by changing cheaper to deeper.
Good example of an oxy-moron:

I am busy doing nothing.
Everything is so random there must be a pattern.
The future is now.
Guilty Pleasure, Awfully Nice, Tragic Comedy
military intelligence
less is more
deafening silence
One of the better crafted ones I've ever heard came from M. Python in the "Trial of Attila the Hun Sketch".
"Just as everyone expected, a surprise witness."
Braille in the drive though teller.

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic, don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought, it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well, isn't this nice."
And isn't it ironic,l don't you think
Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic, don't you think
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think

One bright day in the middle of the night,
two dead men got up to fight.
Back to back they faced each other,
drew their swords and shot each other.
If you don't believe me,
you can ask the blind cop,
he saw it all.
:D

It is midnight. The sun is shining brightly and a car is racing slowly down the river.
