Ok there is lots of comments regarding oh the irony...now I've never been the brightest spark and I will admit I don't really understand the definition of Irony so I'm attending the fab school today to get some examples so I can better understand it and I'm sure it can be misinterpreted at times  |

"My eldest daughter told me recently that once you state something is ironic it ceases to be so. I'm still trying to work that out."
Perhaps she's confusing irony and quantum physics. Easily done.  |

Example - the person who championed and designed a one way road system loses their job because they're constantly late for work, due to the one way road system.
Well that's how I see it anyway. |

(ironically I have no idea what that actually means, so rather than making me look clever, it probably makes me look a bit of a tit) |

Probably more to do with her studying philosophy. |

Now I'm trying to work out if that's ironic, or just fluke |

"What Is Irony?
Accismus; Antiphrasis; Double Entendre; Enantiosis; Epitrope; Figurative Meaning; Figure of Speech and Figure of Thought

No, can you also tell me what most of those other words mean, especially those starting with E |

You think you look a bit of a tit, therefore you are? |

"Irony & ironic can also mean sarcasm etc....."
Sarcasm can be considered a form of irony but not all irony is sarcastic.
Bit like dogs being a kind of animal but not all animals being dogs.
However it is ironic that many people actually think sarcasm is irony. |

A single bloke starts a thread asking for advice on how to get a meet, takes on board all the answers given, deletes current profile, starts a new one.
He messages a single female who gave advice on his original thread. He matches all the criteria she stipulates she's looking for in a man. He has the kind of pics she said she likes. His message is specific to her and not cut and pasted.
She deletes his message without reading it.
Ironic?

You may jest, but I actually have so little hair that, ironically, if you put me together with Duncan Goodhew....
Well, let's just say Tina wouldn't need her falsies

Could be but a better case would be that a guy makes a profile to try and impress, asks for advice, takes it, still gets nowhere. Then finally puts on a profile that actually shows him as he really is and starts to get success.
The irony is if he'd just been himself in the first place he would have been successful from the start.

An example of irony is a picture of a child trying to get through a door to a school for geniuses. He's pushing with all his might but the sign on the door states 'pull to open'.
That's irony. |

"Nothing in the song Ironic is ironic, if that helps"
I had a chat with a friend last week about irony in the song Ironic and apparently its situational irony, rain on your wedding day |
