Walking Examples on an Oxymoron

[Star Cannon]

Do any of you girls notice if your a walking example of an 'oxymoron'? (by the standards of society')
Like: everything thinks your smart, but you never say you are, you do something slightly... um... "stupid" and everyone's surprised?

I tend to be that.

I dont consider that to be an oxymoron...I'm not sure where you're getting it from..

[booyalab]

Society doesn't really consider all women to be simple like it was popular to believe in the early part of the 1900s and earlier

Hmm. I think an oxymoron is when my ESFJ mother suggests I got some logic going in my head.

:D

[Avengardh]

When you put it that way...yes...they either think I am an artist or a genius.

Pendejos.

I mean, the people around you think your smart "friends etc etc etc" booyalab.
And then you fail a test or something and they look all surprised and go :YOU failled the test? No way! I thought you were the smart one in here!"
Or something very similar.

Well I dont relate with the intelligence example because I dont fail tests (or I dont take tests that I know I will fail?)

But I am viewed as the wise stable one so when I let my anxiety show it surprises people.

Same here. I was in a "meh" mood at school and one of my classmates (a loud fellow) and when I said that I didn't care much what I got for a test we were suppose to do (hadn't slept for about 24h at that point, hardly eaten and was on a major sugar rush) he remarked surprised "but I thought you were fanatical about this kind of stuff.

I replied that I loved knowledge and learning and that he shouldn't mix them up with school as they are two different matters altogether.

Wow! I don't think I've seen a word or phrase used so incorrectly since "lowest common denominator" came to common use outside math class.

A good example of an oxymoron would be 'microsoft works'
