::Aren't oxymorons often poor candidates for either side of the oxymoron? For example, a "base-stealing slugger" is probably not-so-good at either skill.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 13:23, 14 April 2012 (EDT)

:::That's not an example of an oxymoron. Tim Raines could steal bases well, and was a solid hitter. A "base-stealing slugger," indeed. Oxymorons are things that are inherently self-contradictory: "jumbo shrimp" (get it?); "military intelligence," "Same difference," and "business ethics" are tongue-in-cheek examples.
