Irony

[The Saucepan Man]

**sigh** why saucepan? Do you need to be the arbiter of all things ironic?

That was a heavy sigh, Tar. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

But seriously, as I said in my first post, I'm no expert. I just feel that irony is an over-used concept and one which, in its true sense, is very difficult to define. So I did a little resarch and came up with the musings set out in that post. And that is all they are - musings representing my opinion based upon a little bit of (quite possibly misguided) research.

Incidentally, the point was made in some of the sources I reviewed that dictionary definitions of irony are notoriously variable and quite often innacurate.
