Truly, with the gross misuse and abuse of the word over the last 20 years I really am not sure if I ever use 'irony' correctly or not. A fly in your Chardonnay is not irony...it's just a fly with bad taste in wine.
But is this conversation I had with L. last night; ironic?
*********************************
Andrea: So I changed my Twitter self description. It's now: Adventurer, wine drinker, acidental humorist, and very bad speller.
L: Was the "acidental" accidental?" :p
Andrea: hahaha
L: Or ironic?
Andrea: It's spelled correctly on titter.
we
twitter
damn i
L: lmao
Andrea: i gove up
f*&k
L: roflmao
dude I can't breathe.
I'm laughing hard and trying to be quiet about it (context: she's in a shared office in US)
Andrea: Me too! (context: it's almost 1 AM in Istanbul and I have a guest trying to sleep)
L: oh god
that was fantastic
Andrea: I have to gigure out how to share this
f*&k me
*******************************************
So I guess whether or not I have a handle on 'irony' at least I'm living up to my claim about being an 'accidental humorist'.
