What is irony?

407 views

Struggling to understand the difference between irony and unfortunate events. My partner is quite smart and I don’t want to make a fool of myself.

EDIT – Thanks everyone, your responses have really helped. Hopefully I’ll be less likely to make a fool of myself describing something as ironic, in the future.
