I cannot count the number of times the word "Irony" is used on this board. "It's ironic that....", or "Irony at it's best!", etc, etc.

 

Well, folks, 99.9% of the time something around here is called ironic, it is actually coincidental.

 

At this time, I will not call anyone out (as I did a search on the words irony and ironic and have a list a mile long of those I could).

 

However, I ask that we really start to use this word correctly. I also ask that when you spot a coincidental situation being referred to as ironic, you call that poster out.

 

Thank you.

I blame Alanis Morrisette for tricking people into thinking a bug in your wine is somehow ironic.

In reading this thread I wasn't thinking " How Ironic".

Instead, I was thinking " How moronic".

 

Is it ironic that you thought this was moronic?

Yes... but the fact that a song titled "Ironic" has nothing ironic in it... is in fact ironic! :thumbsup:

 

Maybe that's what she was going for? Alanis is so advanced.

That's deep. Never knew she was so deep.

I think the fact that you are asking might be coincidental.

 

 

But not sure..... :thumbsup:
