Oxymorons, Part 2
Oxymorons, Part 2
(OP)
In Reference to thread1010-89693 since it is closed, I would like to add a new oxymoron I read today: overbalanced.
How can something be overbalanced? I can understand out of balance or imbalanced. Maybe I am just wrong and this isn't an oxymoron at all?
Offending article is here.

I thought 'surely the sign on the mens room isn't "cowboy hangout?"
Back to cowgirl hangout; is that an oxymoron?

PS: I checked. The mens room said merely "mens."
