An oxymoron is when you put two words next to each other that are basically opposites in a phrase or sentence.
It is easier to understand by looking at examples. Some oxymorons could be "loud silence" (since there is no noise in silence) or "pretty ugly" (since pretty ugly means they are really ugly, and pretty and ugly are opposites).
It is also easier to understand if you know what the word "oxymoron" actually means. 'Oxy' means smart, whereas a 'moron' is like an idiot or very dumb person.
