Oxymorons & Other Contradictory Terms

Every now and then I come across a witty oxymoron that absolutely must go into my database. Now, 1,200 entries later, I guess I have much more than the simple list I started out with. Although I've come up with a few of these myself, the vast majority have come from other walks of life. This material is public domain, so please feel free to share it with all who are interested.
