Get the how many layers of irony are you on?mug. A wife beater serving food in the kitchen of a battered women's shelter for community service would be irony.
She snuck a gun into the cafeteria and shot her husband dead when she saw the no good two timing deadbeat standing there in the kitchen, handing a tray full of meat and potatoes to another female. The battered women's shelter didnt seem to be doing a good job of sheltering her from him which was not her kind of irony.

Get the Ironymug. Irony is when this website declares in its official content guidelines that "we have a zero tolerance policy for definitions that include hate speech, bullying, or statements meant to discriminate or incite violence against others" and then proceeds to approve racist definitions and post them on the website. Great job, you hypocritical pieces of shit.
There is a lot of irony in the approval of the word "Jewed" on Urban Dictionary; it shows a real lack of social intelligence and education on the part of the management team of this website.
