Define Irony
["Sweet Home Alabama" plays in background] Garland Greene: Define irony: a bunch of idiots dancing around on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash. Con Air 1997. I love that line and LOVE the movie . . .
Irony is one of those things in life that keep us on out toes.
The literal definition:
Leigh Ann Watson: Well there are certain similarities between society today and seventeenth century Salem. I guess that would be the irony of it all.
Mrs. Tingle: Irony is the opposite of what is or might be expected. For example, if Ms. Watson was expecting an A on her history project, she might find the actual result to be rather ironic. Teaching Mrs. Tingle 1999
There is a battery commercial that runs - they show a robot with lights and whistles and whatnot and they show a little boy who you find out has a hearing aid that they say is powered by their product - yet the commercial is NOT in closed caption - that, to me, is ironic!
And I am afraid of ghosts - which I have mentioned many times before - yet, I watch Ghost Hunters (one of my favorite shows!), Medium, Ghost Whisper...
I could go on - but I shant (gotta drive thing 2 and 3 to school...)
where is the irony in your life?
