“Cubicle Suite” and other Contradictions

November 3rd, 2011 · No Comments

by Dwayne Phillips

Several years ago, I saw a sign proclaiming “Cubicle Suite” outside an office door. Cubicles are cubicles – yuck. A suite is some place really nice. The two works next to one another are nonsensical.

What other words can we place next to one another and make no sense?

How about:

Short meeting

Concise memo

Constructive criticism

Desktop computer (they are all under the desk)

Slightly obese

Short sermon

Lean bureaucracy

Suggestions?
