Ironic consciousness

Irony at the level of consciousness. Self-actualized consciousness counterposed to its own existence. Consciousness as a self-actualized linearization of time that originates from cyclical time origins. Inability of consciousness to consciously traverse linear time due to the very nature of its existence.
Ironic consciousness means we cannot travel backwards in time.

post-ironic

adjective: When one's ironic appreciation of something becomes genuine, usually due to either prolonged exposure or the enjoyment derived from how amusingly terrible it is.
At first, I thought Pitchfork's inclusion of Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" at #21 on their top 500 tracks of the 2000s list was just hipster irony... But now real hipsters post-ironically recognise it for the great song it is, go figure.

Alanis Ironic

A form of irony that, at a cursory glance, seems to completely miss the definition of irony. Upon further consideration, it occurs to people later that the only thing ironic about it is that there is nothing ironic about it. This, in turn, sets up a conundrum wherein critics are no longer sure whether the original author is either a genius or fucking stupid. Named for Alanis Morisette's song Ironic.
The book was Alanis ironic in that the "ironic" stories the author told were so far off the mark that people had to wonder, given his otherwise sound literary prowess, whether he intentionally used "cosmic irony" to both increase the colloquial understanding of the misuse of ironic and define it in a subtle way, or if he really just doesn't understand irony.

Iggy Ironic

1. A confused, whiney little emo boy who lives a double life and is the most pointless creation ever. He carries millions of diseases that haven't even been discovered yet.

2. Connor wright

3. Iggy Ironic is a myspace whore with a big ego and a small dick. He tries way too hard, just so he can look like a huge faggot. Haha. Just like a typical faggot, Iggy Ironic will throw a hissy fit when he doesn't get his way.
A typical conversation between two gay lovers, Brandon Bracket and Iggy Ironic...

Iggy: Brandon, can I suck your dick?

Brandon: Yeah

*Iggy Ironic proceeds to suck his lover's dick for ten hours*=

ironic bond

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 Bonds are the opposite of Carbvalent Bonds.
