It is where you put two words together that don't belong together. In this case, if Zach has no mind, zachsmind would be an oxymoron.

In Hunt for Red October (the movie) the captain of the sub Dallas says 'Central Intellegence Agency -- now that's a contradiction in terms'. Or an oxymoron.

The pronunciation would in fact be Base - Man. I play Bass Guitar you see, and "Bassman Andy T" is a name that a chap that I used to work with gave to me. Does this sound at all fishy ?

No problem.

I was at our local hospital the other day, when I happened upon a magazine entitled "Caravan Life" - surely the greaters Oxymoron of them all?

(Please, nobody reply with the good old "Don't call me Shirley" joke).
