Is it worse to be an oxymoron or an idiom?

[RandomGirl42]

Ok, so, like , Easter family dinner yesterday was awesome and fun and everything until my evil middle sister called me an oxymoron. 'Cuz , you know, we always put the fun in dysfunction and it's not really a Holiday 'til someone cries. So, anyways, being the totally, mature, responsible adult that I am, I replied by calling her an idiom and stuck out my tongue at her to emphasize her idiomness and then my grade school age nieces threatened to put us both in time out.

But I was left confused as to who should be more scathed by these words-of-wit? I mean, Is it worse to be an oxymoron or an idiom?

Oxymoron is worse

Idiom is worse

This question is worse

You know how when you are younger. And your sister would call you a name

And in that moment you stomp your feet and say
( wait time out)

Like if she was to call you a witch. ( ok time in ) and you would stomp your feet and yell i am not.. Then Mom broomhilda just called me a witch..

Well try this next time it shuts everything down right then and there

So you sister calls you a witch you look at her deep with that look on your face like your going to snap and you yell

I AM TO stomp stomp your feet. Then in your living soft voice and a smile.. it's about time I get some respect around here I'm not even going to tell Mom and walk away. She won't even know what to say

she's going to yell mom

And tell on her self
I just called my little sister a witch.
And she said thank you for acknowledging that she's not getting upset mom make her get upset lol

[RandomGirl42]

Oh. I never thought of that. 🤔

[ohsheeT]

Yes but have to stop your feet to as you say it. And wave your arms through the air. Yell.
I AM TO. lol

[ohsheeT]

Them if any one says anything. You can smile and with a loving voice nothing it's all good. My loving sister is finely being nice to me

Owned by young nieces.. Hope you're recovering well..

[RandomGirl42]

And it's not the first time either! Kids these days. Lol! But thank you. 😊

"'Cuz , you know, we always put the fun in dysfunction and it's not really a Holiday 'til someone cries"
What a nice family. xd
I can imagine it's like a group of garden chicken who need to find one who stays at the bottom of pecking order. I guess you get instantly a reprimand if you try to take a chunk of roasted ham before others took their chunks.
You're too honest and too good for this world. Be next time more wicked and offer them to put ham piece on their platter, while you don't take your chunk at all and smile like a hyena. Believe me, you will ruin this humiliation ritual.

[RandomGirl42]

Oh, lolol! I so really love this idea! TY! 🤣

[Nikki1989]

An oxymoron is a contradiction that somehow makes sense.

An idiom is a phrase whose meaning isn’t literal.

One is paradoxical.
One is metaphorical.
Both can be useful.

[RandomGirl42]

This is true.

Yalls dinner, sounds fun! I think oxymorons are beautiful. pretty as a peach, for example why is a peach pretty? Its not... ok so maybe what does a peach resemble? That not pretty either... but when you tell your sweetie "she's pretty as a peach" and it gets you layed you can see the beauty in an oxymoron. Lol

Idioms thou... I didn't remember what that even was. So I googled it and realized I dont remember because thats what it is. Piece of cake. A definition that isn't described by the words said...

y'all go together like a hand and glove...

Who did onomatopoeia (mom) say won?

[RandomGirl42]

It's more like Rainbow Brite meets Wednesday Adams. And mom would usually tell us to take it outside and not to come back in until we had resolved it between ourselves like adults which usually meant Wednesday threating to shove me into the pigpen and then it was resolved and we could go back inside 'cuz it was getting cold.

[purplepoppy]

I'd be swallowing a donkey if someone called me an idiom.

[RandomGirl42]

Oh! I see what u did there! 🤣

[BCRanger10]

This throws my entire perception of reality into question.

[RandomGirl42]

That happens to me a lot! 😊

[Twodogs0525]

I don't know what those words mean but without look them up and purely guessing, I'm thinking oxymoron has something to do with being overweight? Were you suffering your face during dinner? Perhaps burping and farting?

[Lliam]

I picture Curly Howard (of the Three Stooges) having no idea what the word means, looking confused for a moment, then assuming it is a compliment and saying "Why thank you, nyuk nyuk nyuk."

[NoDecision]

I think it's better to be a moronic ox than an idiom ( a cross between an idiot and a man). 😂

[juliaanita]

"Emordnilap I am, Ma'i palindrome."

[RavVid]

I think an idiom is the worst insult because they are boring.

In contrast oxymorons are clever and smart. like a 'deafening silence' .

[AviatorTom]

An oxymoron can be fun, which means an idiom must be worse.

Plus IDIOM is only a one-bit error from being IDIOT. 😐

[Bricealan]

@RandomGirl42 did you mean 'idiom' or "idiot"?

[integrale77]

You can be neither as they are descriptions of phrases or circumstances!

[NathanDavis]

it is worst to be a pain in the... :

[exitseven]

I say oxymoron. or any other kind of moron for that matter.

Bittersweet Symphony?

[RandomGirl42]

Isn't that a song? 🤔

[MrChinaski]

It's both a song and an oxymoron and an idiom.

Quiz question: Mssrs Jagger and Richards sued for intellectual property violations and were awarded 100% of the royalties on the song. Why?
