I have NEVER,will NEVER,can NEVER wash my husband's linen even the tiniest piece of handkerchief.If he can't use the laundry machine,his hands or drycleaners,good for him.I made it clear to him while we were dating,he understood and married me!

Men of nowadays have also changed

wash

It may be "wash" in ur own dictionary but the correct word is "washing" since she was talking about past action in a continuous tense

hifaif1:


That is not an oxymoron. When you use two contradictory words side by side, you are applying an oxymoron. For example "the drink has a "bitter sweet" taste. "Bitter Sweet" is an oxymoron.

Her statement is however contradictory as you pointed out!!!

Thanks for explaining. This may not be an Oxymoron like you pointed out. But permit me to say that's not the definition of an Oxymoron.

Oxymoron means "A figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction"

They dont necessarily have to be side by side.

Examples: "Live within your income, even if you have to borrow to do so.

"We must believe in free will. We have no choice."

Sister make you no vess, it appear that I must have hit a sensitive nerve ending there...go back and re-read the post I replied to, the word EXPECT never appeared anywhere in the post. You must be imagining things.....

As for the iPhone 6s, you must be juvenile for such a low blow...I have gotten new iphones each year, since iPhone 2G (offcourse will be skipping iPhone SE this year, since it is of a lesser feature compare the the 6s) and the post you responded to was typed on a new iPhone 6s....sorry to disappoint you....besides, there is nothing wrong with a used iPhone, I still have my old 5s laying around...working great as a visitor's phone.

Are you blind? You said and I quote "MY GF WILL EXPECT ME TO BUY AN IPHONE...."

What nerve do you think you have hit? Yeah you get new iPhones every year and I change my Ferrari twice in a year. See how easy it is to make claims on the net? Try again my dear

I Dont think anyone needs knowledge of oxymoron and its lexical application to be the second richest woman in Africa.... Or what do you think

Well, from my school of thought, life isn't all about Riches.

swtdrms:


Not a big deal? u mean as a successful billionaire lady, u will not only respect me as ur husband but u'll also wash my undies and take pride in doing that....Sincerely i doubt it.

Well, your doubts doesn't change reality.

I'll say it again, Not a Big Deal.

Bros, he's right with the correction. Just accept it.

"Used to washing" in that context doesnt sound well.

VickyRotex:
" I still wash his undies until six years ago that he insisted I should stop."

I'm not an English Teacher. But I think that's an Oxymoron. It's contradicting. You "still" wash it and yet you stopped washing it 6 years ago.

But we get the point though.

Be correcting English while she's making money

donofdons:
This is the problem with africans...we men seem to think that a woman is our slave,married to wash and cook then make babbies and bring up children while men sit like a God and a master of the house.

Look at a woman who is meant to be fighting for the rights of her gender encouraging this injustice to women engendered by the bible and all the ancient nonsensense called holy books

A woman is a full equal of man and is not made to serve.....the sacrifice,pains and danger a woman pass through while giving birth to a child is far more than the so called suffering of christ which is meant to save us and instead will condemn a majority of humans to eternal fire for not believing he died for us

I just pity those olofofoS that gave you likes. Why? Because you wrote the worst thing this thread deserves.

Must everything be about money? What's wrong with people?

and so? it is her duty.

are you sure you spewed that from the heart??

Actually, the examples you gave are paradoxes. Oxymorons that actually point out paradoxes are called literary oxymorons. Oxymorons generally involve the use of two contrasting words side by side.

Cherryf:
Wait! Abeg o if she no wash am na me go wash am?
Isnt she nt ashmd to mak such a stmnt u r teln d whole wrld dt u r washn ur own husbnds pants noooo lv am make ifa cm do am for u
no b wetin u dey chop dey inside

So in your mind of minds she just said it "to the whole world" without something leading to it. Come on, she's passed that childish lifestyle. You should have inquired on what led to the statement.
Moreover, her doing it, manually or machine-wise, is a sign of being submissive to the authority, amidst the much desirous wealth she has accumulated for herself and family.

VickyRotex:


Well, from my school of thought, life isn't all about Riches.

And neither does oxymoron knowledge matters except in the school of language....all that matters anywhere is understanding and not lexical construction.

.

Good

Na lie, she no fit wash am unless she just wan pretend for one day to show she cares and humble. ego full most women head when them don get money...

Noted Sir/Ma!

That's the way guys on nairaland will close eye and nor see she said "my husband is my best friend, biggest advicer and support ".
They wee just be looking for somebody that will wash their underwear, when they don't even know to be friends to their Babe not to say advicer/support. Shiorr!!!! That is called reaping where you didn't sow. :@

VickyRotex:

Alright. Thank You!

You are most welcome!!!

ok oooo

whenever an UNTIL is in a sentence...have patience...its not done yet

Lol..... who for wash them for you before? Shebi you even stopped 6yrs ago? Why u come the tell us now?

No! Leave am make i come wash am you. Must you discuss everything about your privacy. Show us the undies.

daretodiffer:
How is it her duty? It is her way of showing love and she likes it.

oh...no be her duty abi?.....assuming they are broke and the man told her one day....honey am tired of providing for this family....its not my duty,I've been doing it coz I wanna show love

So all the other my husband is my best friend, biggest supporter etc. Is silent?

@ OP:

Maybe I was brought up differently but washing of clothes/undies doesn't signify 'submissiveness/humbleness'.... More like hardworking?

Again, I find the 'my husband asked me to stop' part funny...

Was the husband implying there was something 'wrong/humiliating' washing his undies?

And Ma, I think you are bigger than giving such specifics in an interview.
