What are some good oxymorons?

Asked by erichw1504 (26453points) May 25th, 2011

Oxymoron: a figure of speech by which a locution produces an incongruous, seemingly self-contradictory effect, as in “cruel kindness” or “to make haste slowly.”

List some of the best oxymorons (oxymora). Do you have a favorite? What is it and why do you like it so much?
