That sounds like a true oxymoron. One of the words which appears to be a conflicting term actually expresses an extreme degreee of the other term. It's like deafening silence or blinding insight. I think I would like it better as profoundly shallow.

No, a person can not be deeply shallow. Deeply is a measurement of distance. A person can be extremely shallow. Extremely is a measurement of degree.

I think we all are shallow - the only difference is some people dont know they are shallow just yet

oh yea! There are many bull$hitters out there. They are shallow but display it in a real deep way. Beware the sophists!

Fzzzzt!
I'd have to look up the antonym of synonym first but I can only see a spell check button above.
Is slang a slang word and if not, what was it before it was so called.

What a wonderful question. I doubt if we could get others to make their minds ponder similar oxymoron's.

Is it better to be "far out" or "in"

I'll have to ask my brother, he's an only child. We went to different schools together you know. It seems just like only yesterday we stood sitting in a field talking.

He/she can very well be this! This is an apparent contradiction. But really it is not. This is the same as "educated illeterate".
