The only one I can think of off hand > Icy Hot

but, I had a experience where I used the word in real life to
gain ground at work, I used to be in charge of the Environmental
Liabilities, to make a long story short, I was training the new
plant manager at the time what he needed to know, so I could get out of the job A little Fun - 35 Oxymorons ;) , and one morning he inadvertantly tried to get me to do something that would have cost the company tens of thousands of dollars, I would not do it and he asked me what my proplem was A little Fun - 35 Oxymorons ;) I knew I had him then, so I went and aquired the paper work needed to prove my point,from the main office and put it in his hands, this was a vital piece of information and he said "what is this ? "

I said you need to figure it out , if you don't know ask somebody. He asked me again what my problem was and implied that I was being insubordinate

I said " is'nt that a oxymoron " if I am the teacher and you are the sudent how can I be insubordinate ? LOL

ya, he was new at the time and not use to people like me yet,
he later learned it was better to just ride my coat tails, than to
try to undermine me with a plant management title LOL
