Let me tell you what's ironic:
Rain on your wedding day.
A free ride, when you've already paid.
Good advice, that you just didn't take.
A traffic jam when you're already late.
When a man buys a shotgun to keep himself safe but drops it and it somehow shoots him in the face and kills him.

Only the last one is ironic! The rest are just bad luck/choices.

Alanis Morissette disagrees with you.
Although she probably should have googled irony before writing an entire song about it.
That isn't ironic.spazzx625I would say that anything that gets foiled for being something when that's what it really is, is ironic. For example, if you were supposed to have free speech, but then you got in trouble for complaining about not having free speech, then that would be ironic.

It can be argued that the last one is just bad luck as well. So now we have to figure what irony is. Whether you agree or not, I think that hitting red lights when you're late is ironic, bad luck too, but ironic, just as shooting your face off with a gun intended to protect you is ironically bad luck.

Well, that was both informative and funny. I shall be on my way now.
Rain on your wedding day would only be ironic if you set to have the wedding in a church rather than outside in case of rain, but the church had a leaky roof.Let me tell you what's ironic:

For example, if you were supposed to have free speech, but then you got in trouble for complaining about not having free speech, then that would be ironic. But whether something is "off topic" or not is relative. You can't say something is off topic so therefore it MUST belong here. Only things that are off topic relative to OTHER boards on GameSpot belong here, and obviously that doesn't include things that are off topic relative to HERE, the off topic board. There's still no irony as you see it.

The last one is ironic because the shotgun he bought to protect himself fromharm or deathended up being the verything that kills him.
The others are what you would call "typical" bad luck.

By analogy then, red lights must be something that can make travel quicker such that, in the example, they did the opposite. But we don't think of traffic lights in that way so there is no irony.

I now know what everyone is on about! Seriously, it wouldn't hurt to make sure you got the definition right before making a whole song about it....
