It's appropriate in a literary sense. Shakespeare built his career writing them.

Hate to be a prick but Jumbo Shrimp is a fake oxymoron. A shrimp is an animal that became slang for small. Jumbo is simply a large version of that animal. Kind of a figure 8 of logic.

( in further prickeshnish, NEWS has nothing to do with new. It stands for North, East, West, and South.)

Jumbo shrimp is still an oxymoron. Connotation and alternate definitions count.
