In the spirit of our love of words, I'm going to try to think up some unusual oxymorons. Everyone's heard of jumbo shrimp, but have you thought about these?1. Genuine Imitation Naugahyde - I imagine a herd of naugas roaming the plains, sporting a variety of pleather pelts.
2. Clean Fill - It's dirt, isn't it?
3. Daily Special - What's so special about it if it's served every day?
4. Gourmet Hamburger - What's the big deal? It's a ground up cow slapped between two slices of bread.
5. Same Difference - I'm sorry, but I HATE that expression.
6. Going Nowhere - Uh, that's just standing still, isn't it?
7. Head Butt - Where exactly is the head?
8. Legally Drunk - Either you're drunk or you're not.
9. Low-Rise - 'Nuff said.
10. Veggie Dogs - Ew.
11. Numb Feeling - I guess we writers had better avoid this one.
12. Pet Cat - Oh, no... he's not the pet, he's the master.
13. Poor Little Rich Girl - Yeah, right.

Ah, yes, the wonderful times when naugas roamed free and in peace, until they were hunted to near-extinction by the Barca-Lounger tribe. ;)
Great post, and funny stuff!
Very entertaining. Like the one about "pet cat", not "pet human" to them.

Not exactly ground up cow... more like ground up parts of the cow I'd rather not think about.
I just realized I spelled Thursday wrong in the heading. Maybe I was Thirsty...
What a great way to start the morning. 'A great chuckle'...grinning. Or how 'bout
'laughing my head off'. And somehow, your spelling of 'Thursday' fits.
