[Fierlin1182]

There are some common phrases that I never really thought of as being oxymorons before.
Our latest physics class about absolute uncertainty got me thinking.

Here are some I found:
- Act naturally
- Good grief
- Clearly misunderstood
- Found missing

And, also on the list, was
- Airline food
