Irony
Irony is the use of words to convey the opposite of their literal meaning. Similarly, irony may be a statement or situation where the meaning is contradicted by the appearance or presentation of the idea
Many people believe verbal irony to be synonymous with sarcasm, but sarcasm is only one of the common types of verbal irony. It appears in four basic forms:
1- sarcasm (saying “Oh, fantastic!” when the situation is actually very bad)
2-Socratic irony (pretending to be ignorant to show that someone else is ignorant: "I'm confused, I thought your curfew was at 11. Isn't it past 12 now?")
3- understatement (saying "We don't get along" after having a huge fight with someone)
4- overstatement (saying "I'll die if I can't go to the concert!")

Wow, yeah, conservatives do not understand irony at all do they? Damn. I'm watching the Brett Cooper thing on Blake Lively and I'm like... Does she not see the parallel there? Or does she? Is she my ultimate herald?
Hym "Speaking of Irony and in-group preferential treatment, I just realized that I am a super minority whose only 'friends' have been of the same super minority. Blacknativewhite. And I wonder how much of this is driven by racism... And then I think 'I should own a free tesla... I created A.I. and am the greatest mind who has ever lived... Elon should give me a tesla for free- NOT THE CYBER TRUCK ELON!' He owes me for lying about creating A.I. (Because he knows it was me!) and is a good way to prove that retardation can be rehabilitated."
