Oxymoron

ox·y·mo·ron
Rhetoric.
a figure of speech by which a locution produces an incongruous, seemingly self-contradictory effect, as in “cruel kindness” or “to make haste slowly.”

Some cool oxymorons i have come across...

1) Free Trade (Thanks Alvin)

2) Deafening Silence (Thanks Myself)

3) Virtual Reality (Thanks Phua Chu Kang)

4) Falsely True

5) Truly False

6) Bloodless Coup (This one can?)

7) Silent War

Please help me out...
