    A paradox would imply that something is impossible as it disturbs the natural order.

    The message is the same, but not appropriate. This is inversion. Like if you had two bread-sized pieces of peanut butter and jelly and put two pieces of bread in the middle. That's inversion.

    Not only that, but you'd have a great grip, but a flimsy axe.

    What are you on about? The grip for that is *****, you don't want to have a metal grip for an axe as the thickness of it would make it unable to bend as well, the stress of using it to cut down trees would cause it to break. This is why good axe handles tend to be made of wood. They are tough, and flexible enough not to break after a lot of strikes onto a log or tree trunk plastic handles can be used as an adequate substitute, but tend to not be as good because of construction and usually break.

    There is an instance to use it as emphasis in something but it is not widely accepted and generally seen as incorrect because it is not the traditional definition and is often used to emphasis something that doesn't need it. Using as a means of emphasis is tricky at best and I would never try to present that to an English professor. I think the only reason it is even partially considered is because of how often it is abused by the teenage/younger generation.

    I mean using "literally" for emphasis. Mark Twain used it often, as in Tom Sawyer:
    "And when the middle of the afternoon came, from being a poor poverty-stricken boy in the morning, Tom was literally rolling in wealth."

    Are you really using Mark Twain to make Tumblr look good? Mark Twain was a literary genius; Tumblr makes Samuel Johnson **** in his grave. Emphasis is a literary tool, not a comment tool.

    No, I'm using Mark Twain to defend the English language.   
A literary tool isn't restricted to novels, it can be used in any form of text that isn't transcript.   
Actually, even in transcript, you can use emphasis.  So, make that any form of text.   
   
Still, I'd like to reiterate that I'm just saying it's correct, not that it's pleasant.

    yeah,but literally shat bricks isn't near what they mean. Most of the time they had a sudden realization. that never made me **** or blow my mind. That is like saying. I literally almost died. when you stubbed your toe. I get bring attention and emphasis on a subject,but there is a difference between being a inch off and being a mile.

    Or, more likely, because an axe was used to cut down the wood required to make that axe in the first place. The paradox doesn't make sense but it is a paradox.
    Paradox: You need to cut down the tree to make the axe but you need the axe to cut down the tree.

    THAT'S NOT A BLOODY PARADOX! A paradox is a question with two correct, mutually exclusive answers. No one ever follows the damn definition. Just like with irony.

    There are multiple different definitions to the word paradox, the one being used here is the idea behind logical paradoxes. This specific example involves infinite regression ('A' must be true in order for 'B' to be true, but 'B' must be true in order for 'A' to be true.)

    The idea behind the paradox in the paradox axe may be flawed but it still shares a common theme with popular logical paradoxes (that theme being infinite regression). Just because this specific logical paradox has an answer to it, doesn't make it not a paradox, paradoxes have been solved before.

    Uhm....................... doesn't solving a paradox mean it's no longer a paradox? Like I said, a paradox has two correct, but mutually exclusive answers. Finding the answers is easy, but you can't pick one, due to the nature of the paradox. If you solve a paradox, it ceases to be a paradox. That's how paradoxes work.

    That's why I said this paradox was flawed. But by the definition of 'infinite regression' and 'paradox' the axe is still technically a paradox.

    So, the type of paradox you're talking about, is like saying "Today's opposite day" on opposite day. At least, if everything you said was true 100% of the time If you say it's opposite day, that means it can't be opposite day because everything say has the opposite meaning, but that means that it would in fact be opposite day, and it continues forever.

    That's both an infinite regression paradox and a contradiction paradox. But, unlike the paradox axe, it is only a logical paradox it's not, strictly speaking, a paradox because it doesn't have a singular solution.
