adjective

not comparable Of or pertaining to an oxymoron. The oxymoron is a common type of wordplay that, frankly, isn’t all that amusing or challenging to identify, unless of course one stumbles upon oxymora involving the word oxymoron, such as oxymoronic pleonasm or pleonastic oxymoron (a pleonasm is a linguistic redundancy like burning fire).
