Title: Irony
Post by: Anonymous Bosch on March 21, 2011, 05:44:27 AM
You call that irony?  This is irony.

Quote from: "Oxford English Dictionary"The expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect:
‘Don’t go overboard with the gratitude, ' he rejoined with heavy irony

a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often wryly amusing as a result:
the irony is that I thought he could help me

[count noun] : one of life's little ironies

(also dramatic or tragic irony) a literary technique, originally used in Greek tragedy, by which the full significance of a character's words or actions is clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character
