Let’s agree to disagree – an oxymoron

An oxymoron joins two terms that are usually opposite in meaning.

Here are a few examples.

a little big, adult children, big baby, alone in a crowd, almost done, assistant supervisor, awfully nice, bad health, bad luck, big town, bankrupt millionaire, bitter sweet, calm storm, clearly confused, cold toast, completely destroyed, same difference, a fine mess, an accurate estimate
