onomatopoeia – has got to be the weirdest word in your vocabulary so remember it because it is so freaky. It means the WORD sounds like the sound it represents – POP, FIZZ, snap, crackle, zip, fizzle, BOOM! CLANG!

oxymoron- two contradictory terms are combined

Paradox- a contradiction

A logical fallacy – if you eat that seed a watermelon will grow out

ox·y·mo·ron (ks-môrn, -mr-) KEY

NOUN:

pl. ox·y·mo·ra (-môr, -mr) KEY or ox·y·mo·rons

A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in a deafening silence and a mournful optimist.
