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...

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
