Irony is the opposite of wrinkly
I thought it was the opposite of anemia
Irony is e.g. writing a song about irony, and then filling it with events that aren’t ironic.
IT’S LIKE RAAAAAAAAAaAAAAAAAAaaaAaaiiiin
I like how they used actual irony here.
Now that I think about it, I’ve also spent my whole life with a very vague idea and ultimately only pretending to know what that word means.
Examples of metaphysical irony:
(objective irony)
(irony of fate - mostly tragedies)
Example of verbal irony:
It’s ok, metallurgy isn’t for everyone.
I think it’s helpful to know that there are several different types of irony, and that might be why people are confused. It’s always used for drama or humor.
Dramatic irony is what happens in a story when the audience knows more than a character. Think horror movies! It can also be used in a humorous way.
Situational irony is when the opposite of what’s expected happens, for humorous or dramatic effect. For example, the hero’s been holding on to an ancient sword for years and finally pulls it out to use it only to realize it’s broken.
Verbal irony is when someone says one thing but means another, again for humorous or dramatic effect. Sarcasm is an example, satire is another. We use verbal irony all the time.
Ha, they misspelled iconic.
clear communication is rife with failure. But it is the only true and consistent way.
