Paradox
DEFINITION: a contradiction or dilemma
EXAMPLE: It is a paradox that those most in need of medical attention are often those least able to obtain it.
SYNONYMS: incongruity, ambiguity

The bank robbery was a horrid paradox, as the robbers had the cops at gunpoint and were in control of the situation.

We fed a paradox down at the lake. :whome:

I found the man-hating, man-bashing woman paradoxically claiming that she hadn't based her identity on something intrinsically phallocentric ironic.

hur hur!

And Kitty.....what? All I got out of that was "phallus".

Incidentally, my last statement sounds really really bad.

When have you thought one thing but thought another. At times I have found that the paradox was quite obvious.

...it figures... :o

I was talking about a professor of mine. In class today she was spouting off on a feminist rant about how men are bad because they believe that "women are incomplete" because they lack a metaphoric penis(sort of a layman's definition for phallocentric), and it was ironic because she was spouting off this rant while defining her views by men's standards. I dunno, I thought it was funny, her basing her identity off of men without realizing it.

... Anyway...
