Last night I was thinking of a oxymoron, and “cold sweat” came to my mind. And actually I googled it to see if anyone else agreed. But I think it's a oxymoron because your hot when you sweat because “you are working up a sweat”. So cold contradicts sweat. So it's kinda saying it's cold and hot

This one bothered me since I heard it in the 100. I haven’t realised it could be one as it’s something you hear all the time. I guess it’s like “hot shiwer” which sounds totally wrong.
