It is an incredibly misunderstood and misused word. I have a favored example when explaining irony.
You're driving behind an old lady with a bumper sticker on her car that says "Honk if you love Jesus". You end up stopped behind her at a red light so you happily honk. She rolls her window down and gives you the finger.
That is irony.
What I was doing was what is called "making a joke".
Ah. In my circle of friends we'd refer to it as "failing".
Which one are you?
