OXYMORNS (విరోధాభాసాలకారం)
Sakshi Education
Normally, if we want to improve the quality of a word, we use an adjective (i.e., intensifier). E.g. strong man; beautiful house etc. But in English, Oxymoron is a figure of speech, wherein words which have opposite meaning are used in a phrase. Sometimes they're used to make a person stop and think, whether that's to laugh or to wonder.
Look at the following phrases:
clearly misunderstood pretty ugly
exact estimate seriously funny
small crowd fully empty
act naturally only choice
found missing original copies cold
