I was tryna figure what figure of speech that was, too. thx.

AddieroniAndCheese · Answer

lol, a paradox is something that can contradict it'self in an infinite loop. like take the phrase "I am lying right now" Are you lying that you are lying  or are telling the truth, making you lie (bit of a headache). An oxymoron is when you use two words opposite of each other to describe something. That includes  "you are stupidly smart"

a figure of speech is non literal but used for effect.
