An oxymoron is an expression with two contradictory words.

Here’s a list of some of my favorite oxymorons:

clearly confused
exact estimate
pretty ugly
act naturally
found missing
fully empty
seriously funny
original copies
only choice
random order
bigger half

light of my life: (idiom) a person you love / the most special person in your life

turn (something) on: (phrasal verb) to activate something electric

turn (someone) on: (phrasal verb)to excite or become excited sexually

1. catch up
   Intransitive
   Meaning: get to the same point as someone else
   Example: I missed class on Friday.  Can I have the work so that I can catch up?

          catch up (with someone)
Intransitive
          Meaning: to update someone on the most recent information
          Example: Let’s grab a coffee and catch up some time this week.

Step 1: Fill the 5 gallon jug and then pour it into the 3 gallon jug. The 5 gallon jug has
2 gallons left.
Step 2: Now throw the 3 gallon water away. Pour the 2 gallons from the 5 gallon jug to the 3 gallon jug. So now the 3 gallon jug has just 2 gallons of water.
Step 3: Fill the 5 gallon jug again, and pour 1 gallon to the 3 gallon jug. What do u have left in the 5 gallon jug? 4 gallons of water!

1. go back
   Intransitive
   Meaning: return to a place
   Example: When do you go back to Brazil?

Remember the difference between “come” and “go” depends on whom you’re talking to.  If you are speaking with the people you are leaving, use “go.”  If you are speaking with the people you are joining, use “come.”

For example, my family lives in New York, but here I am in Ecuador.  When speaking to my family I might say, “Mom, Dad, I am coming back to NY for Christmas!”  But when I am speaking to my friends in Ecuador I might say, “Amigos, I am going back to NY for Christmas.”
