According to Merriam-Webster, the Word of the Day today is oxymoron, defined as "a combination of contradictory or incongruous words." Their example is "instant classic."
Here are a few recent ones I've come across:
"Iraqi Army" (at least according to the Turkish Daily News; and "news" may be a stretch for this article ; not saying I disagree with the author, just not sure the source is credible)
"Cautious risk-taking" from Minnesota Public Radio's Music Blog
Honorable mention goes to:
"troop surge"
"[U.S.] House Intelligence"
"pretty ugly"
"corporate democracy"
"dying happy"
Any you'd like to share?
