I think you're most likely referring to an oxymoron, which is a figure of speech that uses two contradictory words or terms to describe one thing. An example of this is the word "bittersweet," or the phrases "being cruel to be kind," "accidentally on purpose" and "organized chaos." Oxymoron is used to catch a reader's or listener's attention and draw it to the point being made, which at first seems to be contradictory but ultimately makes sense.
Another possibility is paradox, a literary device which juxtaposes two opposing ideas. A famous example is Charles Dickens' "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times." Though statements like these seem to contradict themselves, they can be reasoned to make sense.
I met a blind professor yesterday at the mall.
I met a visually impaired professor yesterday at the mall.
