Morissettian Irony

The circumstance of something unfortunate happening in exactly the way one expects. Opposed to all classical definition of irony.

From the name of 90's pop songstress Alanis Morissette, referring to her 1996 hit single "Ironic" in which a number of circumstances that were not classically ironic were famously referred to as such many times across many media for several months.
A man afraid of flying dies in a plane crash? That isn't ironic at all! That's Morissettian irony!

Rain on a day on which one would prefer it did not rain, as, for instance, one's wedding day.

Getting stuck in traffic when you're already late for work.

Meeting the man of your dreams, and then finding out that somebody else liked him enough to marry him.

Licking a flag pole in winter and getting your tongue stuck to it.

Throwing rocks at a bear, and then getting mauled by said bear.

Having relations with a prostitute and, as a result, contracting a venerial disease.

The painful situation that happens after a poor wiping of your ass; the dried feces then becomes thicker and it hurts when you try and wipe it.

molasses

A thick, dark, syrupy substance made by boiling the juice of the sugar cane plant. With a great taste and plenty of iron and calcium, it's superior to table sugar and most sweeteners in just about every way.
Molasses is good in coffee.
