An oxymoron, or a contradiction in terms. The word 'oxymoron' is derived from the Greek words "oxy" meaning sharp, and "moron", meaning dull.The expression has been adopted by the English language to describe all instances where two terms contradict each other.'Jumbo' usually indicates something of large size, while 'shrimp' describes something small. The two terms therefore contradict each other.Unless of course, the speaker is referring to large prawns.It is the same as clean dirt. It is another oxymoron.

There are usually numbers that describe the size of shrimp. These numbers tell you approximately how many shrimp are in one pound. The larger the shrimp, the fewer it takes to make a pound. Ask the seller where you plan to buy the shrimp what the "count" of the shrimp is for the size you want. They can tell you how many shrimp will be in one pound. The largest shrimp I've purchased were (10-16) size. That meant there were from 10 to 16 shrimp in one pound. If you buy that type of shrimp, you'd need about 4 or 5 pounds to be sure you had 48 shrimp.
Shrimp is the adjective form as well as the noun and a verb. Example uses: As an adjective: The shrimp boats lined the harbor. As a noun: This shrimp is excellent. As a verb: We shrimp in the summer months and work the lobster traps the rest of the year.
Well, when someone says something like "jumbo shrimp" that is called an oxymoron. An oxymoron kind ofcancelsitself out by (in the above example) calling a shrimp (usuallyreferringto something/someone who is short or small) jumbo (refers to something/someone larger or bigger then usual.) Therefore, it is saying that the shrimp(small) is jumbo (large.) Hope I helped!! Happy Wikiing! (I know...wikiing is not a real word!) :P
