You know what I just realised?

An oxymoron is oxymoronic. Ha! An aphorism of fine blend. This is because:

a) Oxymorons are by definition oxymoronic.
B) Here's the clever bit- I found out yesterday that the etymology of the word 'oxymoron' is from the Ancient Greek words 'oxys', meaning sharp, and 'moros' meaning dull or stupid (forgive the transliteration).

So to those thinking my statement was tautology, I clench my buttocks and raise my poncey nose up at you before saying in a whiny voice, "Na-na-nana-na!"

Please just give me time to remove my glasses before you hit me.
