JUMBO SHRIMP is an oxymoron, the others are not. Dumbed-down contemporary language dictators give this word, as these morons do with LITERALLY, a meaning opposite to what it really means.
OXYMORON means an apparent contradiction that actually means something. For example, NEW OLDIES: the oldies songs a radio station switches too when it's has played the old oldies too much.
Diplomaed Dumbos, who think their education is worth anything except to buy a job, misuse OXYMORON as meaning a consistent phrase that they claim is really a contradiction. For example, if someone thought that firemen were lazy cowards, he would moronically say, "FIREFIGHTER is an oxymoron."
Wrong, moron. FIREWATER is an oxymoron, FIREFIGHTER can never be an oxymoron. These people are so stupid that they think that because OXYMORON sounds like something said by a moron, it must mean that it is a phrase they claim is stupid.
True oxymora:
"I hate his gutless guts": about a chickenhawk
ANTISEPTIC POLLUTION: Here it is something I claim, that pollution kills viruses, but it is a claim about an apparent contradiction, not, like FIREFIGHTER, a claim about a normal phrase.
SAME DIFFERENCE: The difference that doesn't make any difference.
