I'm not sure. I do know which is my least favorite though: "military intelligence." I was amused by it the first couple of hundred times I heard it, but it's gone from clever to cliche since then. Also, I've since been in the military, and now tend to see the suggestion that it's a contradiction in terms as an insult. (However, every once in a while I hear someone in the military say it, and he thinks he's just making fun of MI. The fact that he doesn't realize he's insulting everyone in the military, himself included, suggests that maybe it's true, at least, for him.)
To those who say "military intelligence" is their favorite (or any variant, such as "army intelligence"), I say "civil right" is an oxymoron. So there.

Many answered your question by saying " military intelligence " That's far from being an oxymoron. In military language " intelligence" has nothing to do with brain power. The word means information about the enemy.

While none of the work we do is very important, it is important that we do a great deal of it.
conspicuous by his absence
cruel kindness
thunderous silence
make haste slowly
...Yet from those flames
No light, but rather darkness visible
Served only to discover sights of woe.
accurate rumors
Living Dead
a little big
American culture
authoritarian anarchy
found missing
Hell’s Angels
holy hell
natural makeup
healthy hair
sadly amused
silent scream
sweet sorrow
jus to name a few :p

How about "Express lane"? When you have stood in line for thirty minutes, it begins to feel like an oxymoron (this also counts for the freeway lane).
