I'm guessing on the situation that this is one or the other... i wanted to post it to my facebook, but i didnt know if i should label it "Paradoxal Panties" or "Oxymoron Undies"

I don't find it to be very paradoxical or oxymoronic.
It would be humorous if the dude had slow swimmers or you put it on some slow moving mammal or something like that though, but that would be more on the line of irony.
Literary and other artistic uses of paradoxes imply no contradiction and may be used to describe situations that are ironic.
I.E. People use these words when they should be using other words.
you can take it in verb form, but it doesn't really present itself in verb form.
in the context of the undies, it's a proper noun.
the way you are seeing it is a bit leading to just support what you want to see in it.
but...the flash(tm) is a proper noun.
