An oxymoron (usual plural oxymorons, less commonly the Latin-style oxymora) is a figure of speech that juxtaposes elements that appear to be contradictory. Oxymorons appear in a variety of contexts, including inadvertent errors (such as "ground pilot") and literary oxymorons crafted to reveal a paradox.
The most common form of oxymoron involves an adjective–noun combination of two words. For example, the following line from Tennyson's Idylls of the King contains two oxymorons:
Other examples of oxymorons of this kind include:
Less often seen are noun–verb combinations of two words, such as the line "The silence whistles" from Nathan Alterman's "Summer Night", or noun-noun combinations such as appears in the lyrics of Simon & Garfunkel's song "The Sound of Silence".
Oxymorons are not always a pair of words; they can also be devised in the meaning of sentences or phrases.

Down in the town in the stinky clubs.
I'm pissed near a collapse, but I won't stop.
My hair is died, I'm a complete flop.
But I can't take it, man!
I was raised as a son who should get on.
But what has become of me, their son?
I'm Oi-possessed and like my way.
What has become of me?
[Chorus:]
I wanna be a dirty punk!
Studs & chains and leather braces.
You wanna be a dirty punk!
Do live fast and sod their phrases.
- Dirty Punk!
Now heading for the welfare.
Run down is what you say.
Just watch me when I run amok, and try to
hide from me.
I never really cared 'bout what they thought.
I won't give in 'til I peg out. 'cause I
won't end up like my dad, it's sheer conformity.
Down in the town in the stinky clubs.
I'm pissed near a collapse, but I won't stop.
My hair is died, I'm a complete flop.
But I can't take it, man!
Was raised as a son who should get on.
But I rather do it on my own.
I'm Oi-possessed and won't conform.
