Wouldn't you be looking for the words "accurate" or "irony"?
depends... the way i was seeing it, if you go to flash someone, and they look... well... they wont see flash... they'll see ***...

but.. if they see flash, you're not currently flashing... unless you use the *** hole, i guess, then the word accurate, or irony would fit...

I saw it the same as Rowland. As in the wearer of said underwear would climax rather quickly. Basically a minute man.

well, when i was asking if it fell more under the paradox or oxymoron dealio, i was going off of flash in verb form.

I don't find it to be very paradoxical or oxymoronic.
It would be humorous if the dude had slow swimmers or you put it on some slow moving mammal or something like that though, but that would be more on the line of irony.

Literary and other artistic uses of paradoxes imply no contradiction and may be used to describe situations that are ironic.

I.E. People use these words when they should be using other words.

you can take it in verb form, but it doesn't really present itself in verb form.
in the context of the undies, it's a proper noun.

the way you are seeing it is a bit leading to just support what you want to see in it.

but...the flash(tm) is a proper noun.

You want to advertise that you're quick in bed or something? O.o

I'd go with the word that has moron in it.

all joking aside, Its not an oxymoron 100%. Ironic, maybe. Paradoxical... not unless you really stretch and REALLY REALLY stretch it.

It's neither paradoxical nor oxymoronic.

It could possibly be construed as ironic depending on the situation, but mostly it would be a coincidental juxtaposition.

I like straight oxycodone better, you get more options.
