A modern book of oxymorons, from 'alcohol-free wine' to 'compassionate Conservatism'
The oxymoron is one of the great beauties of the English language - 'a figure of speech that juxtaposes elements that appear to be contradictory'. Some are so common that they are part of everyday language: when we speak of acting naturally . . . or a victimless crime . . . or buy a one-size-fits-all garment . . . the oxymoron is there, hiding in plain sight.
From Popular Culture, to Political Principles and Business Ethics, this book (sure to be a new classic) contains a seriously funny collection of the most brilliantly silly oxymorons, accompanied by amusing illustrations by Paul Thomas.
Numb Feeling: This can be prompted by many domestic events, such opening a spouse's credit card statement, picking up the telephone bill for a teenager in love, or simply standing on the bathroom scales.
Open Secret: There are many of these in relationships, the most common being a husband having an affair that everyone knows about (except his wife).
Useful FAQ: FAQ is an abbreviation for 'Frequently Asked Questions'. Lists of FAQs are guaranteed to list the answer to every question except the one you want the answer to.
