Since some of you people keep misusing this word, i'll go ahead and set the record straight.

Irony is saying/insinuating one thing and meaning another.

The word you guys are looking for is coincidental.

This has been a Big Business StillFurshia presentation.

So you're saying that when evan calls someone a fag, that's a coincidence?

Because that's why you made this thread, right?

Its ironic that he's calling someone who is not a fag, a fag. as in "oh thats ironic, that person isn't a fag at all"

But him being a fag has nothing to do with the irony.

^^ that sir is coincidental

one time I broke up with a girlfriend because she lived at home, I lived on campus, and we weren't able to see each other enough

she had just bought a car, and was about to tell me so when I broke up with her

that shit was ironic

no, thats coincidental. it would be situationally ironic if you were going to break up with her because she was getting a new car and you called her while she was on her way over

I assure you, it was ironic...irony doesn't have to deal with speech, it just has to involve contrast. She had remedied the problem completely, at great sacrifice to herself; and yet I broke up with her on account of that very problem, which, unbeknownst to me, no longer existed. I assure you, we both agreed that it was ironic, and this chick is going to some prestigious English graduate program or other in a few months. I will regard any further insistence on the non-ironicality of this situation as trolling, and will find it ironic that a troll would troll via literary terminology, rather than sexual orientation, penis size and the like.

Irony does not have one single definition.

This thread is stupid.

And I mean that in an actual sense, not as an ironic statement.

irony is when you sell your hair to make a wig so you can buy your wife some combs, while at the same she sells her hair to make a wig so she can buy you combs.

and combs not like honey, sean or ray
