What is Irony?
In: 5
Irony is like this:
John Doe wanted to save money so attempted to fix the plumbing in his home by himself rather than call a plumber. The result was he flooded the whole house, still had to call a plumber and also someone to tear up the carpet and floors and replace it all. That’s ironic.
Sarcasm and irony are not the same as a lot of people here seem to be thinking and saying. Hell the whole point of sarcasm is that everyone knows exactly what you mean when you say the opposite. And sarcasm does not have to be cruel or cutting it can be a great way to lighten someone’s mood, show you understand and offer support as well.
My car broke down in the middle of nowhere and my dad showed up and said with a smile “Looks like you’re having good day!” That helped me laugh at how shitty the situation was.
