Can jumbo shrimp be an oxymoron?

It depends on how you define "jumbo" and "shrimp"!

Here's why it *could* be an oxymoron:

* Traditional meaning of "shrimp": Shrimp are generally known to be small crustaceans. So, "jumbo" implying a large size could contradict the expected size of a shrimp.

Here's why it *might not* be an oxymoron:

* "Jumbo" as a marketing term: The term "jumbo" is often used in the seafood industry to denote larger-than-average shrimp. In this case, "jumbo" wouldn't be contradictory, it's just a size designation.

* Different species: There are various species of shrimp, and some naturally grow much larger than others. A "jumbo" shrimp might just be a larger member of a particular species.

Ultimately, whether "jumbo shrimp" is an oxymoron depends on your interpretation and the context.
