I was at Costco this afternoon trying to talk myself into, or out of, an new 42" LCD and this model had a commerical running on it for Blue Ray Disc. A happy satisfied buyer of the new technology was giving her testimony and she said, "The colors are so vivid and picture is so clear it makes me feel like I am right there in the movie!. It's unreal!"
What? Was is it "real" or "unreal"- make up your mind. I know there are better ones out there so I thought I would ask you what your favorite or most annoying one is.

How about, it is almost unique? Something either is unique (exclusivly one of a kind) or not. There's no almost to it! It's either or.

Hey Al A lot of oxymoron's have almost "Almost Perfect" It's either perfect or it isn't (most times it isn't) : This song is almost perfect "Almost ready" Ready means right now right away it is either ready or it isn't: your pizza is almost ready. "Almost totally" Totally exclaims completeness it is either complete or it isn't : Almost Totally destroyed the building Derek

Now then, I guess we have some that are almost unique. That reminds me, I really get annoyed when I hear athletics say they give 110%. the most they can give is everything. I guess they are trying to say that they gave more than they had.

this isn't really an oxymoron, but it's always funny when people say "I'll be honest.." and then say something. as if everything they said before was a lie?
