New Word - Oxymoran

[dchill]

I thought this would be a nice "specialty term" for wingnuts. I need help with some examples that will roll nicely off the tongue...

A couple I thought of:

Republican Science
Compassionate Evangelical

I'm sure there are many fruity phrases that will bring much glee.

(If someone else already thought of this term, sorry, but I stole it. It now belongs to the people.)

[candy]

1. Conservative Babe!

[Maraya1969]

12. What about Conservative Hunk?

With their precise short sprayed hair. (OMG Carson Tucker just popped in my head)

[tmooses]

2. Does that include those right wingers who favor OxyContin?

[jmm]

3. Then there are the Oxycontinmorans

[prodigal_green]

4. fear-based community

instead of faith-based community.

[Shoeempress]

5. Ignorant design

[Warpy]

6. Well, there's a word that describes Rash Lamebawl

for now. Let's hope it's "inmate" in the near future.

Compassionate conservatism
Military intelligence (always a fave, never more so than when it's applied to the OSP)
War to establish peace in the region
Christian soldier (think about it)

and my favorite of all, a sign that a fad has run its course

Lo-Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies!

[Pockets]

7. "catastrophic success"

Edit: I know Bush used this to describe Iraq, but it also describes what the Republicans have achieved in the U.S.

[dchill]

17. Excellent!

A real gem from the Master Sphincter his own self!

[earthboundmisfit]

8. Yes, quite appropriate! See this from Merriam-Webster Dictionary (Online):

ox·y·mo·ron

Pronunciation: "äk-sE-'mor-"än

Function: noun

Inflected Form(s): plural ox·y·mo·ra /-'mor-&/

Etymology: Late Greek oxymOron, from neuter of oxymOros pointedly foolish, from Greek oxys sharp, keen + mOros foolish

: a combination of contradictory or incongruous words (as cruel kindness); broadly : something (as a concept) that is made up of contradictory or incongruous elements

- ox·y·mo·ron·ic /-m&-'rä-nik, -mo-/ adjective
- ox·y·mo·ron·i·cal·ly /-ni-k(&-)lE/ adverb

A good description of topsy-turvy, war is peace, cruelty is kindness Bushworld!

[Olney Blue]

9. "Deep Threat"

War crime president
Go Cheney yourself
State of Disgrace
Stem Cell Hell
Chimp off the old block

[Maraya1969]

10. President Bush

[dchill]

18. Yes

Sublime.

[Stirk]

11. College Republican

With the military's recruitment numbers down, there is no way any healthy human can be both a college student *and* a Republican loyalist.

[Maraya1969]

13. Republican professor

Or for that matter:

Republican scientist

[Maraya1969]

14. Oh, just realized I took yours! But I thought I thought it up myself

It that an oxymoran or just dyslexia? Or dementia?

[dchill]

16. Synergy

Great minds thinking alike.

[Maraya1969]

15. Speaking of Oxymoron I used to see this car with a bumper sticker

saying "Save Tibet" and right next to it "George Bush"

Isn't that CAR and oxymoron?

19. Law and Order tonight was

talking about a think tank for neoconservatives. Olivia said " isn't that an oxymoron?" LOL
