Define Irony

A statement uttered after the revelation of an exceedingly ironic fact. (Based on Steve Buscemi's statement in Con Air, "Define Irony: A bunch of idiots dancing on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash."

Person 1: Dude, did you hear DJ AM died of a drug overdose?
Person 2: No! Thats crazy!
Person 1: Yeah, and he had just signed a contract with MTV to host a reality show doing interventions for teenagers with drug problems, showing how people can turn their lives around.
Person 2: Wow. Define Irony.

Irony

Whatever the fuck you think it means.

Jim told Marsha to buy tickets, but he won some in a raffle the very day! Isn't it ironic?

Bitch, that ain't irony, that's coincidence.

You know what? Fuck it. You're right. It doesn't matter what it means at this point. People been using it wrong for so long, it practically means whatever you want it to. All right, go right he fuck ahead. Call it irony.

Can I get an irony to come check this irony? Where my irony at?

Irony

When something is both unexpected and fitting simultaneously. While most definitions simply say irony is something unexpected, no definitions ever state that there's a certain element to irony that catches your eye nine times out of ten.

Irony: When someone creates an organization that fights for the right to die with honor, then kills himself.
