When a student from an engineering institute uses words like "freedom" in his/her status updates.
Engineering student quoting Bhagat Singh: Freedom is the imperishable birthright of all. Labour is the real sustainer of society.
Teachers & Relatives: Oh, the irony.

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!")

Irony is when YouTube tries to defend article 13.
Imagine if you couldn’t watch the videos you love. We support copyright reform with an Article 13 that works for everyone. Irony at its best.

When creationists make fun of flat earthers for not understanding science
These flat earthers don´t even understand the scientific evidence that god made the earth round and not flat 6000 years ago.

The irony isn´t lost on me, when creationists make fun of flat earthers for not understanding science.
