When people say "never say never" their using the word never. What is that called? An oxymoron?

I don't think it necessarily is, however, I do think that the word used above (starts with N) should not be used by anyone.  Black or white, it is still a racial term.  Sy what you will, the simple fact that it's groundings are where they, says it is not a word that should be used anywhere, by anyone.

no, silence doesn't means yes. In my opinion, it kind of means no. When you don't automatically agree with someone on a topic, they just assume you really don't agree and are just too polite to not saying anything. If you really had no opinion or agreed, you would say so instead of keeping quiet.

It's poor slang for never mind.\n\nHere is a good list of online chat slang:\nhttp://www.pulpchat.com/faq/faq215.php

"I disapprove of what you say. I disagree with what you say. And I defend your right to say it."\n\nThis is the essence of free speech in a free society. I am very sad reading the posts here from people born and raised in America who still can't understand this basic concept.

To be honest - I've only ever heard black people use the 'N' word.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell.\n\nYou violated the first. I won't violate the 2nd!

Yeah, your right.\nMost people just like to "talk the talk" but won't "walk the walk" as the saying goes.

IGNORE WHAT THEY SAY. NEVER BELIEVE WHAT THEY SAY. LET THEM SAY WHAT THEY WANT.

if you find it offensive just smile sweetly (but make sure they can tell you are anoyyed!) if you dont find it offensive, say "none taken" thats the most polite way to say it in either scenarios, but if it really ticks you off, you should use the first one!

I'm sorry but half of you don't seem to grasp what an oxymoron is.i.e a figure of speech that combines two apparently contradictory terms e.g cruel kindness, loud silence,small giant.\npretty ugly, .jumbo shrimp,wooden iron,cold fire."faith unfaithful" "humbly bold" "falsely true". Not a paradox!\nThanx for the points Grimble x

When it says "they never leave an old argument unsettled," I'm thinking it means men have a tendency to bring old arguments/problems up if they feel it hasn't been dealt with properly. They don't like to just "drop it." If that's foreshadowing, it should mean that in the future of this story or whatever it is, there will be a man who keeps bringing some fight up because even if it's in the past, it's still bothering him that it was never resolved.\n\nI hope this makes sense!

It's called 'do as I say, not as I do." A shocking number of people follow that logic and don't think anything of it. \n\nHonestly though, I don't think alot of people know to practice what they preach unfortunately.

I interpret that to mean that you shouldn't count on something being permanent - a lot like "Never say never".
