Arbitrarily random

A “sudden impulse” just struck me – what’s the opposite of oxymoron?

A quick google check brings up the following:

Pleonasm is the opposite of oxymoron, consisting of two ideas that are redundant.

One might ask, why the sudden linguist impulse out of the blue?

Well, “sudden” and “impulse” are already being used, just for the effect. They aren’t the main characters for this entry though. While walking back from Jurong Point, waiting by the traffic junction, and yes, out of bordom, staring at the “dark black” skies, two other quotes keep on repeating itself in my mind as I continue to walk –

守得云开见月明， 柳暗花明又一村。

Of course, two different quotes, same meaning. Though it probably reinforces the positive effect than render either redundant.

Oh well. Arbitrarily random. Hopefully positive =)
