The definition of 'ironic'

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

ironic - humorously sarcastic or mocking; "dry humour"; "an ironic remark often conveys an intended meaning obliquely"; "an ironic novel"; "an ironical smile"; "with a wry Scottish wit"

just thought I would add it here, as it seems to me that some people don't have a clue what the word actually means

Don't use Alanis Morissette to get your definition. Rain on your wedding day is not irony, it's weather.

is that a euphemism for something else?

And there was me thinking that was a huge part of what this site was about

10000 spoons when all you need is a knife......do you have any idea what the scrap metal value of 10000 spoons would be? Could buy any fucking knife you want

that is unless the OP thinks he (it's always a he!) is being ironic, but is actually being sarcastic, as is usually the case (with not a hint of humour involved, either!)

But again, that's not irony....he was pretty much knocking on the door anyway. Buying a ticket at that age is just plain irresponsible

A traffic jam when you're already late

A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break

It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife

It's meeting the man of my dreams

And then meeting his beautiful wife

And isn't it ironic...don't you think

A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

It's ironic if you chose that date because you're a meteorologist with access to long range climate prediction analysis...

isn't it ironic that if someone listens to their peers and works all their life without a day off ,does without so they can have a living pension but all the time holding back in what they want to do because its all about securing the future.and the day comes that they can retire early at 55or carry on till 65and 65 is only another ten years and their pension wil be so much better if they do that ten years .sothey put their head down and work for another ten years because its best to have a bigger pension for family time in retirement. .so they retire at 65 on full pension and drop dead the next day and the pension dies with them. . .or is that just bad luck that the same thing happens quite a lot?

A bit of both. Like being stuck in a traffic jam when you're the town planner responsible for road layout.

The ironic thing about the Alanis Morissette song is the title, because the song itself contains nothing that is ironic.

"a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often wryly amusing as a result"
