Came across this today and thought it was laugh-worthy:
The word "oxymoron" is from a combination of Greek words for "smart" and "stupid," and it is used to describe a phrase that has an internal conflict or contradiction, such as "military intelligence" or "postal service."
The legal profession has its share of the usual two-word oxymorons, such as "legal ethics" and "Justice Rehnquist," but is unique in also providing us with the only one-word oxymoron: brief.
