Default Things you don't understand....

What are some strange things that you think are oxymorons, or you just plain don't understand how.

Like I don't get how a band named War can sing songs like "Why can't we be friends?"

Since were on the subject of things not understood, this one isn't an oxymoron, but never knew what it meant. What does "devil's advocate" mean?

"just for the sake of argument let me take the less popular opinion" i.e.: let me side with the "bad" side just so you can understand both sides of the situation.

actually the term comes from a position at the Vatican. The job was to do just as Fuji described. But a little more extreme like how would the devil react to this or try to take advantage of this situation/rule, whatever.

the position nolonger exists.
