It can either mean this :
Oxymoron
a figure of speech by which a locution produces an incongruous, seemingly self-contradictory effect, as in “cruel kindness” or “to make haste slowly.” (I like the more modern incongruity coined by Arnold Schwarzenegger, "girlyman")
__________________________________________________
Origin
1650–60; presumed GR >oxymorum oxýmōron, neut. of oxýmōros sharp-dull, equiv. to oxý(s) sharp (see oxy ) + mōrós dull (see moron )
Or it could be this:
Oxymoron
a cream indicated for use in controlling acne and/or stupidity.

Redefining words, one of many reasons I should not work graveyard shifts.

best luck pulling those graveyards. I pulled a few early mornings doing data entry at the post office and we'll just say if your mail was delivered wrong....
