Now, this thread may be used to discuss WHAT irony is, or post pictures of ironic occurences, such as the "Fitness" picture.

Let's talk about sex baby,
Let's talk about you and me,
Let's talk about all the good things,
And the bad things that may be.

Let's talk about sex.

I believe theprecise definition is something along the lines ofa disconnect between how things are expected to be and how things actually are.

A paradox is two things that seemingly can not exist together, such as time paradoxes (you in the future changing you in the past, since changing the past changes the future).

It's when the actual "meaning" is the opposite from the litterate "meaning". I remember that from a movie... can't remember the name of the movie though...

Irony is when something different than what is expected happens. Such as the picture of health clinics using elevators. Another example would be a hunter dying from their prey.

I always thought of it as things that seem contradictory but are still true
