Buttons & Figs - A podcast by a podcast for kids about playing with words

Categories:

Well, I received a letter from my Dear Aunt Agnes and it has so many oxymorons in it, so I can’t figure out WHAT she’s trying to tell me! Can you help identify all of the Oxymorons? What's an oxymoron you ask? Oxymorons are when you place two words next to each other that seem to contradict each other, or have opposite meanings, but when used together, they have meaning! For example, Jumbo Shrimp is an oxymoron….because Jumbo means big and Shrimp means small, but together, it means a something delicious! You can see this letter by visiting Buttonsandfigs.com and looking for Wacky Wordplay Wednesdays. join us for wordplay when you can, perhaps on Wednesdays. written by Pamela Rogers produced by Buttons & Figs audio engineered by Blaise Collins
