An oxymoron is a rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in a deafening silence and a mournful optimist. A couple other examples include:
- Jumbo Shrimp
- Small Giant

the most usual example people give is Jumbo Shrimp. Another oxymoron would be a fat marathon runner or a prude prostitute.
