Bizarre word groupings (that make sense)

I found this list while cleaning out my files. Interesting how opposing words and concepts make sense when grouped together, even when they don’t make sense. (Does that make sense?)

  • Act naturally
  • Found missing
  • Resident alien
  • Advanced BASIC
  • Genuine imitation
  • Good grief
  • Same difference
  • Almost exactly
  • Alone together
  • Silent scream
  • Living dead
  • Small crowd
  • Soft rock
  • Butt Head
  • New classic
  • Sweet sorrow
  • Childproof
  • Synthetic natural gas
  • Taped live
  • Clearly misunderstood
  • Peace force
  • Extinct Life
  • Plastic glasses
  • Definite maybe
  • Pretty ugly
  • Twelve-ounce pound cake
  • Diet ice cream
  • Exact estimate

And, of course:

  • Government organization
