What Is an Oxymoron?
6. Alone Together
Couples will often be looking forward to having some time together when nobody else is around. Being “alone together” will obviously allow for some intimacy; something that can be very hard to find for parents in particular. While we know what the term means, of course, it actually makes no sense when it is scrutinized.

The Oxford English Dictionary definition of the word “alone” says just what you would expect it to say: being “by oneself.” If you are with even just one other person then you are not “by oneself,” and therefore not alone. Regardless, the oxymoronic nature of the term almost helps to give it some added romance.
