Living Dead. I dunno, the thought of dead people who are still alive just strikes me as oxymoronic...

Although most people get the idea, oxymorons (except for very few cases) are two words that seem to contradict eachother, but are often used in expressions and conversations. I'm not trying to point out people but I'll give some examples. "Winner of the loser bracket" doesn't really seem to contradict itself, because it really does make sense. "Funny national geographic" might be OK if it was something that was actually used, seemed to contradict itself, and was actually possible. "Alone together" is a good example because it seems like one could not be alone AND have another person there, but is actually possible because you're extending the "alone" to multiple people. Also, it is occationally used.
Hope this helps :-)
