anti-irony

exactly what you'd expect to happen, despite someone's inane belief otherwise.

Some idiots broke into the zoo and threw shit at a tiger, which promptly ripped their throats out. Oh the anti-irony!

What? Did you really expect the world to end because some bible-touting asshole told you it would? How anti-ironic!

anticronym

Another name for "RAS syndrome" (short for Redundant Acronym Syndrome syndrome) -- redundantly using a word in connection with an acronym or initialism that already contains the word. "ATM machine" is an example: the phrase literally refers to an "Automatic Teller Machine machine".

Enter your PIN number when the ATM machine prompts for it on the LCD display.
(That sentence contains several anticronyms.)

anticronym

Doubling the usage of a word within an acronym.

An example of an anticronym is when speaking about an “ATM machine” - the word “machine” repeats what the “M” in “ATM” stands for. It’s like saying “Automatic Teller Machine Machine”. Another example would be “PIN number” where the word “number” repeats the meaning of the letter “N”

antirony

A word I made up that has an actual meaning. From "anti" and "irony".
The ironic moment when two opposite lovers both switch so they can be together, but results in the opposite.

Person 1: I became evil so we could be together.
Person 2: Oh, well I became good so we could be together.
Person 3: The antirony is REAL! (or) How antironic...
