There was a thread running a while back about humorous juxtapositions on the front page ofr the Boozer, but I couldn't remember what it was called to search it.

It's a fancy way of saying side-by-side

El Pres has also just coined the phrase 'RAWKy'. It'll be in the dictionary in a few yrs.

juxtaposition is sort of like a visual oxymoron...

e.g can be seen in "romeo and juliet" when romeo talks about "feather of lead" etc...

I thought it meant adjacent?

It does. Literally "Joined Position".

BazC · « **Reply #24 on:** June 23, 2005, 12:20:08 am »

maybe that's the literal meaning of it?

but i was taught it when doing media cwk in english last year. when contrasting things are placed next to each other- it is a juxtaposition.

Not sure it was juxtaposition (in terms of contrast, which would be the first usage that entered my mind, but hey ho), but remember what you are going on about. I personally quite like

FAO The Grammar Police
Thieving Bastards

I'm very keen on the "With thanks" list in the Tomkinicon which reads "Nigel Morrison, the eletist bastard..."

in a totally unconnected co-incidence
