this is a good inside joke I had with a friend in middle school, we'd point out an oxymoron and then laugh like it was the funniest thing ever!

The figure of speech is known as 'OXYMORON'
Eg: 'bitter sweet', 'cool fire', rich socialist, honest politician, lazy ant, generous miser etc etc
Hope these examples bring home the point!
