As we all know, the oxymoron is one of the great beauties of the English language. It has been defined as ‘a figure of speech that juxtaposes elements that appear to be contradictory’. Famous examples would include ‘bitter-sweet’, ‘open secret’ and ‘compassionate Conservatism’. ‘Seriously Funny, and Other Oxymorons’ brings together a great many examples of the oxymoron genre, amusingly illustrated by Paul Thomas.
