My new subject is > .... Oxymorons

Weekday afternoons on TV have Game Shows, Quizzes and competitions to show something to watch between the commercial breaks.

One such item is called "Pointless" and the object of the exercise is for the competitors to score fewer points (from 100 down to nil) than one's rival competitors - based upon the answers to facts, people or places provided by a survey completed by 100 volunteers.

There are two hosts - the one asks the question and the second has all the facts and the answers given by the survey.

Subjects vary from Geographical, Entertainment, the Periodic Table and, of course, People etcetera

So here is my oxymoron - appropriate to Radio 3.

"Pop Culture"

Can you quote any other oxymorons heard on our airwaves?

A few minor points of an informational nature about the TV programme 'Pointless', on which your suggestion appears to be based:
The programme has a presenter (Alexander Armstrong) and his assistant (Richard Osman). This presumably essential difference in their status is prominently featured in the end credits. I doubt if Richard minds that much, as he's the brains - or one of the brains - behind the programme and is doubtless doing very nicely out of it in his capacity as a stakeholder in the production company concerned.
The survey is exclusively online and the 'volunteers', who allegedly have no idea why they're being asked these questions, have 100 seconds in which to come up with as many answers as they can.
There are no commercial breaks in this programme, which is shown on BBC1. (Anybody even more of a fan than I am can watch old episodes on 'Challenge' - a digital channel dedicated exclusively to old TV quiz shows - enjoy again such classics as 'Play Your Cards Right', 'Golden Balls' and 'The Price Is Right').
There is a variant, called 'Pointless Celebrities' (often an excruciatingly apt title) on Saturdays.

"Military Intelligence" is of course a hardy perennial!

Not sure if others will recognize it but the "Intelligence Operating Model" (IOM) is all the rage in my sector of local government. It's oxymoronic in that its main function is to find reasons for not operating (taking any action)

"Quiet carriage"

'Customer Service' tends to come at, or close to, the top of such a list.

"contemporary classical" would be top of my list
