    Isn’t it ironic, that it lacks irony, hence unexpectedly wraps back around to containing irony (about the lack of irony)?

      Is this tenet or inception of irony?

    irony defined as apparent perversity of fate or circumstances

    Little Oxford Dictionary, 1986 edition. Ma girl is good.

      The use of words for something other than their literal intention. Now that. Is. Irony. 🎶

    Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry - Be Happy” is sarcastic.

      To me, it’s clearly about stoicism.

    This song is unironically ironic.

    There are several different kinds of irony.

    “Black fly in your Chardonnay” is only ironic if after a long day of gassing your house with Raid, tacking up screens, installing fly paper, putting all your trash out and deep cleaning every inch of the house to rid yourself of an infestation of black flies, you finally sat down with a cold glass of white wine to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

    The irony is the lack of irony.
