An oxymoron is a phrase that seems to contain contradictory elements.

e.g. a large minority, 'bitter-sweet', valuable rubbish.

Oxymorons are used for many reasons.

One reason is to convey a truth; the total concept that is being communicated may actually be true, but the individual parts of the expression may seem to be saying opposite things.

Another purpose may be to intrigue or amuse or insult. For example, many might say that the expression 'honest politician' is an oxymoron i.e. a contradiction in terms!

However, in most cases, oxymorons are used creatively to communicate an insightful truth about something or someone.

For example, Shakespeare spoke of "fearful bravery", "tragical mirth", and "virtuous lie", -each expression having an understandable inner-meaning which transcends the apparent self-cancelling nature of the two words when considered independently of each other.
