‘Oxymoron: It is interesting how social norms have been able to add a new dynamic to the word \”Oxymoron\” while it is a figure of speech by which a locution produces an incongruous, seemingly self-contradictory effect, as in “cruel kindness” or “to make haste slowly.” Rhetorical oxymora (e.g., “bipartisan cooperation” or “business ethics“), on the other hand, are expressions composed of words that are not inherently mutually exclusive but express an opinion that the two cannot occur together, usually for satirical intent One of my favourites is Customer Service, United Nations , Anything with Democratic in it. or Judicial Enquiry. and an impartial decision.
