This is not ironic, you really need to look up the word.

Here is George Carlin's take on irony:


Irony deals with opposites; it has nothing to do with coincidence. If two baseball palyers from the same hometown, on different teams, receive the same uniform number, it is not ironic. It is a coincidence. If Barry Bonds attains lifetime statistics identical to his father’s it will not be ironic. It will be a coincidence. Irony is "a state of affairs that is the reverse of what was to be expected; a result opposite to and in mockery of the appropriate result." For instance:

If a diabetic, on his way to buy insulin, is killed by a runaway truck, he is the victim of an accident. If the truck was delivering sugar, he is the victim of an oddly poetic coincidence. But if the truck was delivering insulin, ah! Then he is the victim of an irony.

If a Kurd, after surviving bloody battle with Saddam Hussein’s army and a long, difficult escape through the mountains, is crushed and killed by a parachute drop of humanitarian aid, that, my friend, is irony writ large.

Darryl Stingley, the pro football player, was paralyzed after a brutal hit by Jack Tatum. Now Darryl Stingley’s son plays football, and if the son should become paralyzed while playing, it will not be ironic. It will be coincidental. If Darryl Stingley’s son paralyzes someone else, that will be closer to ironic. If he paralyzes Jack Tatum’s son that will be precisely ironic.

You kin to Leroy?

Not that I'm aware of. Just trying to fit in with some of the big brains around here.

[C&CDean]

You are confusing big brains with pompous airheads.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

I have a massive... brain.

[TUSooner]

pilobolus is right about irony, by the way.

[C&CDean]

Yes, and Leroy is right a lot too. Still doesn't make em' any more palatable.

Does that mean it is ironic that he thinks they are "big brains"?

[Serge Ibaka]

And who would of thought? It figures.

I don't care if the fact that the Segway company owner drove off a cliff on one and died is ironic, but it's still sickly hilarious.
