irony of hipsters

A group, gathering, or congregation of hipsters, similar to a "flock of geese" or a "herd of cattle."

I was harassed by an irony of hipsters outside of the Apple store for using an Android phone.

irony meter 

A mythical device often mentioned on Internet discussion fora, the irony meter is a device for measuring unintentional irony. It is best known for breaking or exploding when the irony becomes too strong.

That politician's speech last night caused sparks to shoot out of my irony meter.

irony deficiency 

A common deficiency in which the brain cannot process humor that contains irony.

George loves jokes about farting and pooping. Be when he's presented with any humor that has a hint of irony, his eyes just glaze over. He suffers from a serious case of irony deficiency.

irony police 

A large group of narrow-minded, usually internet dwelling people who attack anyone whose use of the term irony doesn't conform to their rigid, overly specific definition of it.

Irony Police Officer: "Alanis Morissette doesn't know what irony is!! Duhhh, rain on your wedding day's just unfortunate!!

Some Guy: But don't people expect their wedding day to be perfect, the ultimate good day? And doesn't rain symbolize a bad or imperfect day? And so wouldn't bad weather on a wedding day be an unexpected outcome, and therefore ironic?

Irony Police officer: Uhh... No, I once saw this stand-up comedian, and he said the events described in that song were unfortunate. Stand-up comedians are always right.

Irony Nazi 

Someone who scans every use of the word irony, and if it doesn't rigidly adhere to Ed Byrne's definition of situational irony, he proceeds to attack, often reciting Byrne's stand up act. See also irony police.

Some guy: "Poor Chuck Norris's fans only appreciate him ironically nowadays..."
Irony Nazi: "Hey! That's not ironic, that's just unfortunate!!"
Some guy: "Wha?"
Irony Nazi: "Irony is when there's a gap between what happens and what was expected to happen!"
Some guy:"No, that's verbal irony..."
Irony Nazi: "Silence! Ed Byrne told me that when people don't use 'irony' the right way, it's just unfortunate and not ironic! Heil Ed Byrne

Irony Banana 

When you lay down a banana in a Mario Kart game just to hit it on your next tap.

I thought that I was being smart by laying a banana in the narrow turn, but it turned into an irony banana when I hit it on the next lap.

irony of love 

How something so beautiful could end up being destructive— with how ironic love is, people learned how to cry, and lie.

Love never hurts. But if it does, maybe it isn't even love, or it's just the irony of love acting up.
