Jeez, they're fun and oh, so filling, not to mention really culturally iconic and ironic, Maybe even ebonic...

A one word example: extrasuperfluous

A two word example: military intelligence

Perhaps: artificial intelligence (not sure it'd do as an oxymoron, though)
From my Dad's explanation, "artificial intelligence is something that is needed in case you don't have a natural one".
Hmmm... i guess, "breathing nappies" won't do either...
