An oxymoron is basically something that’s self-contradictory, so something like seriously funny or love hate relationship.

[Channelknight Fadran]

Wowza. You threw up an entire thread for this?

[DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns]

It's very important, Fadran, gosh.

[Lunamor she/her]

I must know.

[Nathrangking he/him]

Perhaps, but the world does not tremble at this thought.

[Channelknight Fadran]

I wasn't complaining, guys. I was just surprised.

then how do you think earthquakes happen?

This is a bit like saying "stone rock" or "glowing light"?

Not an oxymoron, but redundant. Unless I'm misunderstanding the situation.

That’s the argument here- is kitten cat the equivalent of “cat cat” or “baby adult”?

Kitten is a subset of cats

Depends on your perspective- it could also be considered as “baby cat” and cat could technically be considered as “adult cat”. Or it couldn’t be if you use different definitions/interpretations of the word.

Is it the literal definition and the obvious perpendicular conjunction of either word that we seek, or the spirit of the meaning behind the two?

‘Tis the argument!
