Judy, your previous post indicates that you are keeping track of posts you
think are clueless and you're ranking them! I admit it makes me wonder about
your mental situation.
Yes, I would have to question this as well, Sharon. I mean, out of all of the
clueless, stupid, insipid, inane, helpless-little-girl posts that you write
here how she can rank them is beyond me. I have to side with you on this one.

I don't know whether anyone's keeping track, Share. Would it make you
anxious if they were? After all, you'd only be competing with yourself.

<< from yahoo answers: Irony is probably one of the great misused words of our
generation. In its pure form it requires the speaker to say one thing and mean
another, and also requires at least one person present to believe that the
speaker means what he says and at least one who knows otherwise.
"Irony is a form of utterance that postulates a double audience, consisting of
one party that hearing shall hear and shall not understand, and another party
that, when more is meant than meets the ear, is aware both of that more and of
the outsiders' incomprehension."
-- Fowler's Modern English Usage.
Parody is imitation of the written or spoken words of another for the purpose
of ridicule.
Satire is a humorous artistic expression (such as a novel or essay) intended
to attack folly, stupidity or vice. It can employ a number of types of humor,
including sarcasm, irony and wit. >>

Robin and I called that exchange our "irony duel" in private.
Oh, so now it's "irony" instead of a "parody"?
parody:
a. A literary or artistic work that imitates the characteristic style of an
author or a work for comic effect or ridicule. See Synonyms at caricature.
b. The genre of literature comprising such works.
2. Something so bad as to be equivalent to intentional mockery; a travesty:
The trial was a parody of justice.
