----------------------------------------------------------- From: Captain_Owen Message 85 in Discussion I think we need to sort out what irony is: Irony Noun 1) (attribute) incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs 2) (sommunication) witty language used to convey insults or scorn Synonyms: sarcasm, satire, caustic 3) (communication) a trope that involves incongruity between wat is expected and what occurs. If insanemisskitty turned into a cat that would be coincedence. Alanis Morissette has a lot to answer for, an entire generations understanding of irony out the window. Has anyone seen the sketch where some comedian goes through every line of the song "Ironic" and explains what each line actually is, other than ironic (I think it might be Bill Bailey)? ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/IrishFencingForum/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
