Here are two or three of the websites from the old TBOT thread in
regard to irony and sarcasm:
http://mbhs.bergtraum.k12.ny.us/cybereng/lit_terms/irony.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony
And a quote from the wikipedia site:
====================================================================
Irony is a form of speech in which the real meaning is concealed or
contradicted by the words used. Irony involves the perception that
things are not what they are said to be or what they seem. ...
