Some examples of contradictory terms are 'living dead', 'pretty ugly', 'jumbo shrimp', and 'virtual reality'. If the contradiction is intentional (rhetorical or poetic), then it is called an ox·y·mo·ron.

Self-contradictory statements are called paradoxes. They are seemingly true, but lead to a logical inconsistency or contradiction when examined closely. Some famous examples include "This statement is false" and "I always lie."
Contradictory premises are statements that cannot both be true at the same time. For example, "All cats are mammals" and "No mammals have fur" are contradictory premises because they cannot both be true simultaneously.
Something is contradictory when two things are in disagreement. An example is if a baseball umpire says that a runner is safe, but gives the out sign. A runner could not be both safe and out at the same time.

Answer this question…Daoism uses seemingly contradictory statements to provide instruction to its followers.
Two statements are considered contradictory or mutually inconsistent when they cannot both be true at the same time. This occurs when one statement asserts a condition that directly negates the other. For example, if one statement claims "It is raining" and the other claims "It is not raining," both cannot be true simultaneously under the same conditions. Therefore, if the truth of one statement necessitates the falsehood of the other, they are deemed contradictory.
Talking out of both sides of your mouth is a saying that means you make contradictory statements to people about the same thing. It is an idiom.
