Oxymorons to Spare

Why do “tug” boats push their barges?    

Why do we sing “Take me out to the ball game” when we are already there?

Why are they called “stands” when they are made for sitting?  

Why is it called “after dark” when it really is “after light”?  

Doesn’t “expecting the unexpected” make the unexpected expected? 

Why are a “wise man” and a “wise guy” opposites?  

Why do “overlook” and “oversee” mean opposite things?
