Jumbo Shrimp

Here is a fun way to come up with some attention getting phrases. The use of two words together that aren't normally used together can produce a funny, interesting, and maybe mind jolting response. Words like Jumbo Shrimp seem to cancel each other out. Jumbo means large, Shrimp is another word for small. Some other cancellation examples are:

• Deafening Silence
• Mellow Intensity
• Spectacular Mediocrity
• Exciting Monotony
• Specific Omnipotence
• Acute Ugliness

What others can you think of?

Take the concept in another direction as you loosen up. Keep looking for that ear catching combination.
