An oxymoron is a word or phrase that is a contradiction in terms. The word itself comes from the Greek words for sharp and dull or keen and stupid. The most amusing oxymoron is: Agile introvert Random order Constant variable / static variable Even odds Constant change Jumbo shrimp Oxymoron Minor crisis Only choice Deceptively honest Unbiased opinion Soft rock AC/DC	[reply]

"Awful" would classify as an oxymoron in and of itself since it literally means "full of awe" - which is exactly the opposite of its common meaning. And then we can juxtapose your "awfully good" against "awfully bad" - so bad, it inspires awe in its, er, awfulness. My head hurts now.	[reply]

I have noticed that almost everybody has an eye on some sort of numbers. Some people religiously follow sports, and they can tell you which team is playing against which team and when was the last time they played and who won and by how much. Some people watch the stock market with the same kind of zeal. Their eyes are glued to the numbers. Some people watch their weight, while some watch the election and poll numbers. Others watch the lottery numbers everyday to see if they win big. So, what numbers are you going to focus on primarily in 2020 ? * Lottery numbers * Football results * Olympics results * Stock quotes * Election results * My blood sugar numbers * My weight * other	[reply]

The worst excuse I have ever heard is: The wind blew the wrong way Leaves on the line The wrong kind of snow Yes, but I didn't inhale Categorically, er, no.

Re: poll ideas quest 2020 [Movie genres] by Eily (Monsignor) on Feb 20, 2020 at 15:29 UTC
If languages were movie genres, perl would be: Fantasy, why is this even a question? Historical. Because it's so ~~old~~ backward compatible Horror. I mean, there's goto, map in void context, regexes to parse nested data ... fear Zombies. You should be careful what you autovivify Romance. Watch as the oddest of combinations actually work better than you'd expect. Mystery. Trying to answer this age-old question: "Wait... how does this even work?" Adult. Looking at you, perlsecret operators. Drama. Here's what happens when you give people more rope to shoot themselves in the foot. Comedy. But it only works in the right context. Obvious bonus question: what about other languages? :)	[reply]

Nice list :-) I might suggest including "non-frameworks" like CGI.pm and Plack (and maybe even "I roll my own CGI functions") because that might be an interesting comparison between the two approaches.	[reply]

I take your point but it seemed like that sort of question had already been asked. Is there much value to revisiting it? The landscape has changed a bit since no doubt but regurgitating old polls doesn't really smack of progress.	[reply]
