OK, I can waste as much time and be as pedantic as the rest of you! Oxford's Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary list "Dry Cleaning" as:

the cleansing of fabrics with substantially nonaqueous organic solvents (as petroleum naphtha).

Petroleum Naptha-Dry Cleaning fluid? Yes. Oxymoron? Yes. Big waste of time? YES!

Now that I have your attention, anyone up for a discussion of Voluntary Simplicity? Hell, let's go straight for Transcendentalism.
