All these oxymorons remind me of an old tale I found in a book somwhere or other. I went something like this. A woman was to be the king's wife, but she had to pass a test. She must come neither walking nor riding, not on the road, nor off it, and unclothed, but not naked. To meet all these requirements, she got a big fishnet to wrap herself in, then she tied the fishnet to a donkey. She was not wearing clothes, but she was not naked, she was not riding or walking, and she was not really on the road, and not really on it, either. That is probably not a very good retelling of it, but there you go.
