The act of using somebody's words against them, usually when something to their great detriment is about to be inflicted upon them. Usually in the form of a gloating statement.
Kuzko: "Okay, I admit it. Maybe I wasn't as nice as I should have been. But, Yzma, do you really want to kill me?"
Yzma: "Just think of it as you're being let go...that your life's going in a different direction...that your body's part of
a permanent outplacement."
Kronk: "Hey, that's kind of like what he said to you when you got fired."
Yzma: "I know. It's called a cruel irony...like my dependence on you."

A movie made in 1999 starring Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Phillippe, Selma Blair, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Louise Fletcher, and Joshua Jackson, with a small role by Tara Reid. This movie is packed with laughs, tears, and some fudge, and is extremely rad. The plotline is basically this: Kathryn (the drug addicted rich bitch)makes a bet with her step-brother Sebastian (the cute player who can get any girl he wants) that he won't be able to bed Annette (a virgin who is insistant on remaining one until marriage). If Sebastian loses, Kathryn gets his Jaguar. If he wins, he gets Kathryn. This movie is Rated R for strong sexual dialogue and sexual situations involving teens, language and drug use. It's a really funny movie, and guys and girls alike will almost certainly love it. Just one word of advice, DON'T watch Cruel Intentions 2. It sucks.
"Hey cutes, wanna come over to my place and watch Cruel Intentions?"
"Of course I do! you know I LOVE that movie. Ryan Phillippe is mad hot in it."

One of the best movies I've ever seen. Has Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair in it. Involves a lot of rich kids and a lot of sex.

when you have to be cruel to be kind, it simply means you are dishing out tough love to your lover. (S)he will later recognize that you have his/her best interests in mind and will later be grateful for what you are doing. Things will all pan out in the end, your lover just has to trust you.
"Cruel to be Kind" is a late 1979 hit for British rock'n'roller Nick Lowe. He's made other great witty songs as well, check out his 1989 greatest hits release "Basher: The Best of Nick Lowe", it's terrific. Also, a different song of the same title appears on the debut album "Resident Alien" by Spacehog, from 1995.

A symphony of flatulence, wet and moist enough that it should be illegal. Is known to have destroyed office chairs.
Man 1: "Hey, I just did such a cruel fart at work".
Man 2: "Yeah I know, I saw your office chair in the back alley. It was still on fire!"
