In one sense, oxymoron means a term coined by a poet to describe something you don’t get, but in the other sense, it is a term made up of words that means the same thing. Which one you choose to use is entirely up to you.
The problem with oxymoron is that, once you decide to use it, you have to be very careful about the meaning your audience have it in mind. As a rule, a good definition for oxymoron would be something that is so abstract that it cannot be expressed in words of any sort. In other words, oxymoron sounds like a word you might say to a friend to explain what you were thinking about your day, but without the intent of actually expressing anything.
Paradox is a word that’s used to describe two different concepts. One is a claim that is either true or false, which implies that both parts of the statement are true at the same time. The other is when two things are said, then one of them is true, the other false. This second definition of paradox is more common, and its use can be confusing to consumers.
Many people use the word “paradox” to mean a situation, idea, condition, or behavior that is more complex than a simple statement of either truth or falsity. For example, the idea of an oxymoron is when two or more things are said or implied, but they are not mutually exclusive. For example, “I’m not going to work tonight or I’ll be late.
It’s the third definition of paradox that is more common, and the one that is used most often. This form of paradox is when two things are said, but not necessarily mutually exclusive. For example, if you said Im not going to work tonight or I am going to work, then you might be implying that both things are true. The term ‘paradox’ is a bit of misnomer because the two things said can be mutually exclusive, but not necessarily simultaneously true.
A paradox is any statement that is both true and false at the same time. The two most common examples are 1. the statement “I am going to work” and 2. the statement “I am not going to work.” So you can’t say it’s an oxymoron because you could say both things are true, but you can’t say it’s an oxymoron because you could say both things are false.
The most common “paradox” is when people say that they are going to work and then later say that they are not. This is because they are not actually going to work. The truth is that they could be working, but they are going to be doing something else. The statement is the same as saying, “I am going to work and I am not going to work.
The other form of paradox is when people think that they are going to work and then they think that they are not. This is a misperception. It’s a case of “I’m not going to work and I’m not going to go to sleep. I’m just going to lie down, I’m going to nap, I’m going to think about what I’m going to do next.
Oxymoron is when you make a statement that you know you won’t be able to justify in any way to yourself, that you’ve said in a prior conversation that you’re not going to take this job, that you’re going to quit it, but you do it anyway. But when you don’t know if you’re going to work, you say it anyway.
So when you say youre going to work and you say youre going to quit and you do both of these things, you have oxymoron. When you say youre going to work and you say youre going to quit and you do neither, you have paradox. The oxymoron is when you say you are going to work and you say you are going to quit, you are going to work and you are going to quit.
