So you're the one!

Irony isn't too well defined, especially when we get into literary terms. Then there's three types of irony. And the examples you used for irony are coincidences, just thought I'd point that out. soldier-dark

Actually, yes they are, and I already explained why. And the "Dead End" example is a quasi-popular example of cosmic irony.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Did you think your parents saying, "How many times......" was literal, too? :roll:

[QUOTE="jointed"][QUOTE="Neoyamaneko"][QUOTE="jointed"]Explain how that classifies as irony please.LJS9502_basic

Case #1: Situational irony. They called it "The Phantom", a supernatural creature known for being immaterial, and the product never materialized on store shelves.

Case #2 : Cosmic irony. Having a fatal wreck in a place where it can be used as a term for the end of your life.

Explain how that classifies as irony please.jointed

Lots of times....but it's not like I keep track.:|LJS9502_basic

*sigh* Once again.....coincidence is *not* irony.

Far too many people keep mistaking coincidence or meeting a similar fate for irony.

Infinium Labs making a game system called "The Phantom" only for it to become Vaporware.....that's irony.

Being fired from a job exactly a year after being hired.....not irony.

Someone having a fatal car wreck near a "Dead End" sign....that's irony.

The "Irony" achievement in Bioshock.....not irony.

[QUOTE="jointed"]I completely fail to see how loosing weight is so hard for some people. I'm in perfect weight and I'm not even trying. I'll have to go out of my way to gain weight. To answer the TC, I don't think that it's OK to make fun of people because they weigh too much or too little...but people who complain about thei fatness I have no sympathy for.Funky_Llama
