Title: The Oxymoron thread
Post by: MicroPsycho on January 04, 2005, 06:46:01 pm
In case you don't know, an oxymoron is a contradictory word, term or phrase, for example the word 'bittersweet' is oxymoron.

Post some oxymoron's that you may know, they can be a word, phrase or sentence. Hopefully we can have some fun with this.

I'll start:

'Microsoft Works'

and the one I've been using in my sig, 'Derek Smart'

Actually, yes, it is :)

But it's IL-2 Sturmovik that I'm uninstalling there. Windows come with an installer/unistaller program built in, called the Windows Installer/Uninstaller, some programs bother to change the name in the header bar, others don;t :p
