Talk:oxymoron

Too encyclopedic. (yes, encyclopedic is a word)

Wiktionary is not an encyclopedia.

My two cents.

 * I'll boil all this blah down into a definition (a pair of defs, actually - the original one and the contemporary one). — Paul G 08:04, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

A "non-contradictory oxymoron" ? Really?

Serious Mistake
In the "Etymology" section, the definition of moros as meaning "stupid," with its reference to the Tufts definition of oxymoron as meaning "pointedly foolish," is wrong and misleading. Moros is Greek for "dull," just as oxy is Greek for "sharp." The obvious idea is that the two adjectives are in polar opposition to each other and cannot reaonably both be predicated of one subject. One knife, for example, cannot be both sharp and dull at the same time. So, oxymoron means "sharp dull," not "pointedly foolish." This illustrates its meaning as a self-contradiction. I would like to change the information in the "Etymology" section, if it meets with Wikipedia approval.Lestrade 23:49, 20 September 2006 (UTC)Lestrade

 * The Wikipedia article "Oxymoron," asserted that the word meant that two contradicting terms were combined to make a point. This seemed to be an effort to support the definition as "pointedly foolish." If anyone supports that definition, I request that they give an example of being "pointedly foolish."Lestrade 12:13, 21 September 2006 (UTC)Lestrade

 * There is no mistake. It is neither "wrong" nor "misleading" to use the phrase "pointedly foolish" in the definition.  Want proof?  Check out the "proof" that I laid out on the  Wikipedia talk page for Oxymoron.  There, I prove that one knife can indeed be both sharp and dull at the same time, and that "pointedly foolish" and "sharp dull" are both accurate translations for this "paradox with a point."  Grolltech (talk) 21:07, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

No Connection with Mormonism
There is no direct connection between oxymoron and the angel Moroni who allegedly appeared to Joseph Smith, Jr..Lestrade 00:32, 21 September 2006 (UTC)Lestrade

stress
In the audio file, the stress is on the first syllable, in contrast to the IPA. Which one is correct?

 * To my knowledge both are correct. It's a regional and dialectical difference.  Neskaya 08:03, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

libelous definition
Deleted the definition relating to Rush Limbaugh as violating Wikipedia's policy on libelous material relating to living persons.

 * You could've also deleted it on the grounds that it was bullshit. --BiT 21:56, 27 November 2007 (UTC) —This deleted comment has been restored by Grolltech (talk) 00:03, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

 * I have deleted an anonymous pro-Limbaugh whine. I have no objection to people supporting the man.  I just think they ought to take responsibility by signing their names to their opinions and their censorings.

 * -dlj.

 * OK... um... I have a question...  was that an example of an oxymoron that you just did there?  Because you just left an unsigned comment complaining of anonymity and censorship, and censored a signed comment that was absent of both censorship .  Well done!  I see the paradox, but what's the point?  I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.  Ooh! Was that an oxymoron?    Seriously, though, I've taken the liberty of signing the unsigned comments, restoring the deleted one, and refactoring the indenting—all in keeping with Wiktionary policies and/or guidelines.  Please check out Help:Talk pages when you get a moment.  Grolltech (talk) 00:03, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Grolltech, I can imagine that I might have signed off with my frequent "-dlj." after my second or third signature on a single page. I think it is extremely unlikely that I left three, uh, "contributions" unsigned. I'm certainly careful to sign my stuff under almost all circumstances.
 * Given the extreme sourness with which some right-wingers react to even the mildest things I say, I rather think that erasing my signature on notes where I had criticized others for leaving unsigned venom around the joint was one of these thinking they were being funny.
 * Cheers,

 * David Lloyd-Jones (talk) 04:06, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Nothing of yours was erased. You initialed your post rather than signing it.
 * As for the "debate": in 2007 someone inserted a definition here as their only Wiktionary contribution- ever. It was a lame and silly personal attack on a public figure that has no place in a dictionary, and was a clear violation of our policies that require a neutral point of view. If someone hacked into one of your online accounts and posted statements that you disagree with, it would not be censorship to delete them. Likewise, removing the expression of an opinion (which by its context represented itself as Wiktionary's opinion) that Wiktionary does not and cannot hold is not censorship.
 * Wiktionary's entry talk pages are for discussing the entries as dictionary entries, not for expressing political opinions. BiT's characterization of the content that was removed wasn't that far off the mark if you look at it as a dictionary definition. Don't get me wrong: I personally loathe Rush Limbaugh and all that he stands for- but this isn't the place for partisanship in either direction. Chuck Entz (talk) 06:12, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Examples - moved from main page

 * 1) * A famous example is Milton, Paradise Lost, Book 1, ll. 63-4:
 * No light, but rather darkness visible
 * Serv'd only to discover sights of woe
 * 1) * Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, Act 1. Scene 1, in which Romeo utters nine oxymora in just six lines of soliloquy:
 * Why then, O brawling love, O loving hate,
 * O anything, from nothing first create,
 * O heavy lightness! Serious vanity!
 * Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms,
 * Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health,
 * Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!
 * This love feel I, that feel no love in this.
 * 1) *1892, Henry James, The Lesson of the Master.
 * Above all she was natural—that was indubitable now—more natural than he had supposed at first, perhaps on account of her aesthetic drapery, which was conventionally unconventional, suggesting a tortuous spontaneity.

"Contradiction in terms" is Incorrect. Off by 180 degrees.
To say that oxymoron means contradiction in terms, or indeed contradiction of any kind, is not merely incorrect. It is very precisely incorrect. It misses the point by firing in the opposite direction. An oxymoron constructs a new and non-contradictory meaning out of contradictory elements. The essence of the word is its non-contradictoriality. It's easy to keep this straight in your mind with the fairly true notion "oxymoron is to contradiction as synthesis is to antithesis." If you wanted to tweak the accuracy a little, you might say that oxymorons are made out of pairs of antitheses, but you'd lose the Hegelian oom-pah-pah of the original. -dlj.
 * You are welcome to your own philosophical views on what constitutes an oxymoron, but that has nothing to do with a dictionary definition, which should cleave to how a word is in fact used. Note that Wiktionary is by no means alone in this; the Oxford English Dictionary has two senses, calls both "contradiction"s, and in fact uses the very phrase "contradiction in terms" for its second definition. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 06:59, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

 * It is a little bit disappointing to be told that the OED is part of the mob who cannot tell a definition from a solecism.
 * David Lloyd-Jones (talk) 09:26, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Googling around I can find nothing to support Metaknowledge's claim above, and am trying to write to him/her/it to find out just which part of the large Oxford empire supports his claim.
 * David Lloyd-Jones (talk) 09:38, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Of course an oxymoron is a contradiction in terms- that's what makes it an oxymoron. In the original sense, that's necessary, but not sufficient: an oxymoron is superficially a contradiction in terms but makes sense at a deeper level. The other sense, as in 's famous crack about "military intelligence", just focuses on the contradiction part. It may not be true to the original definition, but, then, glad originally meant "shiny" and nice meant stupid or ignorant. Right or wrong, language changes- and you can't stop it.

Usage notes

 * The transitive verb lay is often used instead of the corresponding intransitive verb, especially in informal settings (and not only in speaking). This happens with all their forms: the present tense and base (infinitive) forms lay(s) are used instead of the present tense and base forms lie(s), and the simple past and past participle of lay (both laid) are used instead of the corresponding forms of lie (lay and lain).
 * This intransitive use of the forms of lay instead of the forms of lie already started in Middle English, first appearing in the thirteenth century and becoming common in the fifteenth century. The usage was still chiefly limited to the present tense, and it seems that it was influenced by reflexive or passive use of lay (the wounded lay themselves / are laid on the beds).
 * Several factors contributed to the increased use of all forms of lay for those of lie. One is that the form lay was also originally used as both the base form of lay and as the simple past of lie. Another is the use of lay as a reflexive verb meaning “to go lie (down)”. A third one is avoidance of the homonymy with lie “to tell a lie”. In addition, the verb lay looks more complicated than it actually is: it is in fact a regular verb that only looks irregular due to the spelling convention of using laid instead of layed. A similar merger exists in some other Germanic languages, and the two verbs have merged completely in 🇨🇬. In German, however, there is no confusion at all even in informal speech: legen, legte, gelegt ("lay, laid, laid") versus liegen, lag, gelegen ("lie, lay, lain") due to the clear differences between the regular forms of the transitive verb and the "irregular" (strong) forms of the intransitive verb.
 * Traditional grammars, schoolbooks, and style guides object to the common intransitive use of lay, and a certain stigma remains against the practice. Consequently the usage is only rarely found in carefully edited writing or in more formal spoken situations but common in speech and journalism, especially since the arrival of the Internet and the increasingly rare use of professional copyediting (in other words, journalists check their own writing).
 * Nautical use of lay as an intransitive verb is regarded as standard.

codswallop

Etymology
, attested from 1959 episode of UK TV series . The writers state that the phrase was in general use when the show was broadcast. A national TV appeal in the UK in 2006 failed to find earlier references, though a humorous newspaper column from 1947 does use the fictional name "Sir Aubrey Codswallop". Originally written (1963), spelling is later.

Various etymologies are proposed from some sense of, such as from , hence cod + wallop “imitation beer” (with interconsonantal -s- to ease pronunciation of -dw-), or from , hence cod + wallop “testicle bag” or "tbag" or "hit with testicle bag," or from  (some part of the fish, as from fishing industry).

A frequently given etymology, although widely rejected as a, derives it from , British soft drink maker of the 1870s, known for the eponymous , with the suggestion that is a derisive term for soft drinks by beer drinkers, from Codd’s +  “Codd’s beer (sarcastic)”. There is no evidence that early uses had this sense, the slang comes later than Codd’s lifetime, initial spellings (1963 in print) do not reflect such a derivation (*Codd’s wallop and *coddswallop with -dd- are not found), and there is an 80-year gap between proposed coinage and attestation.

This is also the name given to the wooden device placed over the neck of a codd bottle and given a push (wallop) to dislodge the marble in the neck of the bottle. The word has also been used to describe the process of opening a codd bottle.

learned

Etymology 1
From, , , equivalent to , which replaced the earlier , from , past participle of. Learn formerly had the meaning “to teach”, which is now found only in nonstandard speech, as well as its standard meaning of “to learn”.

Adjective

 * 1) Having much learning, knowledgeable, erudite; highly educated.
 * 2) * 1854, Charles Edward Pollock, Lake v. Plaxton, 156 Eng. Rep. 412 (Exch.) 414; 10 Ex. 199, 200 (Eng.)

Usage notes

 * In very rare instances, this adjectival sense is sometimes spelled with a grave accent, . This is meant to indicate that the second ‘e’ is pronounced as or, rather than being silent, as in the verb form. This spelling is largely restricted to poetry and other works in which it is important that the adjective’s disyllabicity be made explicit.
 * The superlative forms and  are archaic and obsolete, respectively.

Usage notes

 * The use of “let” to introduce an imperative may sometimes be confused with its use, as its own imperative, in the sense of “to allow”. For example, the sentence “Let me go to the store.” could either be a second-person imperative of “let” (addressing someone who might prevent the speaker from going to the store) or a first-person singular imperative of “go” (not implying any such preventer).

participle

Etymology
From, from (1388), variant of , from.

Noun

 * 1)  A form of a verb that may function as an adjective, noun or adverb. English has two types of participles: the present participle and the past participle. In other languages, there are others, such as future, perfect, and future perfect participles.

Usage notes
Contemporary English constructs the perfect, progressive and progressive perfect aspects, and the passive voice from participles and auxiliary verbs. The tense is always expressed through the auxiliary verb.
 * I have asked. (present tense, perfect aspect)
 * I am asking. (present tense, progressive aspect)
 * I am asked. (present tense, passive voice)

When not combined with have or be, participles are almost always adjectives and can form adjectival phrases called participial phrases. Nouns can occasionally be derived from these adjectives: In English, participles typically end in -ing, -ed or -en.
 * the following items
 * the following
 * the dying victims
 * the dying

A present participle ending in -ing has the same form but a different function from a verbal noun called a gerund. Sometimes a present participle (adjective) is mistakenly called a gerund (noun).
