Oxymoron of the year
Wednesday, December 21st, 2005 @ 11:20 am | General
Even if you want to be outspoken, you choose the things you want to say, and say the nice things only. Keep the bad things to yourself. Even better if you don't say anything at all.
What's your version?

“I can yell at you and excuse that to depression/bad mood/bad timing but when you do that to me, you’re just being a bitch.”

I had one person say this
‘I don’t want to friend you anymore, next time I see you you pay for your own meals ok?’
December 21st, 2005 at 11:49 am
Oh hahahaha I’ve heard that ‘pay for your own meals’ thing before but luckily it wasn’t said to me.
Okay, because old people seem to like to talk to me, I actually came across this little ‘nugget of wisdom’ once:
‘Girls should never speak their mind or else no man will want to marry them.’

Fucking hell, you’re a girl! Don’t go around saying fuck fuck la.

amazing. i was just thinking about this yesterday. Difference is, my post was entitled
“It’s okay to have different opinions. You just can’t voice it out.”

“Mai geh-gong… mai tua-kang… ai gong weh siang ho si jip dua nao seng…”
December 21st, 2005 at 12:31 pm
“Only stupid people don’t listen to other people. I’m not going to listen to you because I’m your mother.”
December 21st, 2005 at 12:35 pm
If you want to be outspoken… Go forth with bullet proof vests and the phone number of a very good plastic surgeon.
December 21st, 2005 at 12:40 pm
“I’m not going to say, ‘I told you so.’”
December 21st, 2005 at 12:50 pm
Old folk: Young people these days,got no opinion one. Very bad.
Youngster: Uncle ah…
Old folk: SHUT UP! What you know?

Most common oxymoron I say is ‘Pretty ugly’
‘Act natural’ is a common one I hear.
The American’s justification for going to war is always a funny one too its a PEACE OFFENSIVE or the fact they said they were doing it to STOP A WAR!!! or TO BRING PEACE TO THE REGION … especially when people bring up that France and Germany etc opposed it, and I hear G W say everyone was for the war and agreed it had to happen … it’s not so much an Oxymoron on it’s own … but when they include something actually said by people opposed to the war and try to twist it, it often results in one.
Or their justification for removing peoples rights, as a way to PRESERVE FREEDOMS??? Like, take freedom away to preserve it? Are they NUTS!!!!?
Bass Guitar is one I hate, as Leo Fender invented the Electric bass, as a version of the Double Bass. It’s NOT A GUITAR!!!!! It’s a FRIGGIN’ BASS!!!! I guess that’s sort of stretchin the meaning of Oxymoron … but they are different … just not opposite.
But Cor Anglais (English Horn) - neither a horn nor English!!!!
Friendly Fire … that ones pretty sad.
Organised mob.
Or when people give me a good beating … what’s so good about it?? Waaah!
It was an HONEST LIE … like yeah .. since when!
But you know me … always SERIOUSLY FUNNY! hee hee!

Man: There is no such thing as a bad opinion. It’s only an opinion.
You: In my opinion, I think you need to learn to control your temper.
Man: You have no right to disrespect me!

I am a bimbo. Therefore, I can say what I want.

while colleague while reading a news about a girl who got raped and then killed by the rapist.
“rogol sudahlah, nak bunuh lagi!”
(its enough that you rape the girl, there’s no need to kill her)
O_O..
then I told him
“dude, that is so wrong…”
December 21st, 2005 at 4:38 pm
some of you really need to look up the meaning of ‘oxymoron’… before you post your version.
One of these above looks awkwardly out of place.

Oxymoron of the year: Fantastic Four
December 21st, 2005 at 5:59 pm
“There’s two types of truth, the one which people want to hear, and the one they refuse to admit.”
I got that during a lecture from my parents.
December 21st, 2005 at 6:00 pm
eh tiu, i misread : /
December 21st, 2005 at 6:04 pm
Oxymoron:
A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in a deafening silence and a mournful optimist.
It’s not an Ox who is also really dumb … but,after reading some of them, maybe I’m wrong!!!
Pretty Ugly way to find out what an Oxymoron is though.
December 22nd, 2005 at 4:07 am
But. But makes everything an oxymoron.
I’m not racist but…
I’m open minded but…
I want to help you but…
This is perfect but…
This is not something I usually do but…

dabido: some of them indeed.
December 22nd, 2005 at 9:09 am
Oxymorons… I don’t lack them.
I rest my case.
December 22nd, 2005 at 9:09 am
Oxymorons… We don’t lack them.
I rest my case.

The Other Kenny - that’s Okay Kenny, I’ll always remember you for that photo on the kiddy ride.:-)
December 22nd, 2005 at 2:24 pm
gee.. thanks for the sarcasm… i guess..
December 22nd, 2005 at 2:48 pm
The Other Kenny - Sorry mate. That pic always in my mind whenever I think of you. Wasn’t meaning it in a bad way … maybe it’s just my Aussie humour.
December 22nd, 2005 at 2:55 pm
My oxymoron of the year would be Microsoft Works.
Ok. Kidding.
The actual one would be ‘justified rape’. I want to know how I can justify rape. Then I’ll wait outside the Olsen Twins’ resident.
December 22nd, 2005 at 3:48 pm
from musa hitam, another pm who didn’t maketh it as pm:
i’m an optimistic pessimist
or the other way round: i’m a pessimistic optimish,
That was once upon a dime…

“It’s OK for guys to lose “it”, but it’s NOT OK for you to lose it…you’re a girl you know?” - idea from here
December 22nd, 2005 at 8:48 pm
Vlad - if you do that, and the Olsen Twins rape you,then it’s justified as they were doing it to stop you stalking them.
About twenty years ago, a group of Lesbians were going around raping men … they only got caught as the ONE and ONLY guy who reported it was a gay guy who felt abused, the other guys never reported it … though the Lesbians claim they’d done it many times.
Only other way i can think of it, is if someone puts a gun against your head and threatens to kill you if you don’t ‘Do it’ to a girl … in which case you can claim self defense, but I doubt that situation would come up.
If it is a legal definition, then you might need to talk to the country which has it and find out what they mean by it.
I’m with you though, I don’t think there is an honest way to define it (other than the GUN AGAINST HEAD one … which I’ve never heard of actually happening in real life).

Hi CK,
Came across the following lines .. and they are exactly what my mum used to advise me about opening my big mouth.
“Before you say anything to anyone, ask yourself 3 things: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary? ”
Good guidelines to remember, BUT at times I have to use a lot of UHO Glue to keep my mouth shut
December 23rd, 2005 at 3:35 pm
I just remembered one.
“A thrifty girlfriend”

contradictory statement…whoever worded that ought to have used a bit of common sense.
