Irony

Whatever the fuck you think it means.

Jim told Marsha to buy tickets, but he won some in a raffle the very day! Isn't it ironic?

Bitch, that ain't irony, that's coincidence.

You know what? Fuck it. You're right. It doesn't matter what it means at this point. People been using it wrong for so long, it practically means whatever you want it to. All right, go right he fuck ahead. Call it irony.

Can I get an irony to come check this irony? Where my irony at?
