Ironing from home

What you call an ionic bond with Iron in it. Ironically, this isn't actually ironic, but merely a bad pun. Nonmetals and metals form a bit of an odd couple, especially when you're dealing with iron, the roughest, hardest and sexiest of known metals.
Professor said that FeCl3 was an ionic bond, I thought it was an IRONic bond! OMG LOL!

ironic

Share definition
1. A situation where the result is a complete reverse (and practical mockery) of what was expected

2. A word heavy misused and abused in conversation today, mostly by people who think that using the word in any way will automatically make them seem intelligent. The word is usually misused to exactly mean "coincidental" or "tragic", when again it doesn't mean this (see #1)
If the heavy metal band Anthrax dies of anthrax, that would be poetically tragic, but not ironic. If a diabetic crosses the street and is run over by a truck carrying insulin, then it's ironic.
