Get the metamorphaeurphraist irony mug.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!")

Get the irony rubicon mug.I have the first Hispanic restaurant of all time. I invented tacos, tostadas and pan dulce. I am da first rapper of color, and have won awards for my raps and songs. I am a chef, writer, rapper, composer and singer.
Every day, my productivity is off da charts.
My only fault? Being a colonized girl of color in slavery without basic human rights.
The reverse?
My Caucasian colonizers have all the Caucasian Provelege in the world, and have never worked a day in their loves. They are all old men; they have access to the matrix, servants at home and have privileges I don't even know exist. They have autism, schizophrenia, and delusions. Their insistence that I accompdate their Caucasian Provelege instead of ending it is a delusion. They even play with dolls, and insist that I treat their (autistic) dolls as if they were real people by not killing them AND as if they were not real people (I dare not speak to them or call them out on their Caucasian Privelefe; they're straight out of Europe (India) and don't speak English, Spanish, Russian or Chinese).
These "people" are lazy, disgusting. Order food from restaurants multiple times a day using money they never earned; they have servants do everything for them. Their only virtue?
Having Caucasian provelege. All the Caucasian provelege in the world, and they still don't get it right.
