An oxymoron is a contradiction in terms. Such things as smart blond, sober alcoholic, stupid genius, ect. are oxymorons. They contradict themselves by the perceived opposites used together.

"A sunshiny, rainy day in Florida is an apparent oxymoron, but in that state, both happen at the same time."

Oxymorons are just statements that contradict each other.

For instance:

Pretty Ugly: She was pretty ugly when I first met her from online.

Intense Calm: An intense calm came over the jungle one evening, signifying a storm was approaching.

Deafening silence: There was a deafening silence at the meeting just then.

Random order: The list was in random order.

Original copy: He had an original copy of the book.
