Monoaesthetic Mixtures in Language, Culture and Biology

Various idiomatic expressions, cultural creations and biological traits have been selected for due to the amusing, contradictory way in which they reference more and less arousing opposites. This can be demonstrated by the improbable structural similarity of various otherwise independently-derived aesthetic phenomena, many of which are collected here for reference in a series of lists.
