EDIT: Also, I'm wrong, according to wiki.
Damn

DON'T ABBREVIATE WIKIPEDIA AS WIKI. Wiki refers to the software Wikipedia uses.

I define irony as a surprisingly contrasted juxtaposition of cause and effect, often in a humorous or frustrating manner.

Now I have a piece of paper which can prove I speak english. That's more than most native speakers have.

Especially since being born in an English-speaking country just doesn't seem to do the trick these days for native English-speakers. (u_u)

NB: Oh, you speak English?
YT: Yes! (^_^)
NB: I don't believe you...
YT: Waahhh!~ *runs away*

For convenience, I have my ESL documents in card form to carry around in my wallet just in case I need to "whip it out for the non-believers."

To quote Bender on one particular definition:

Bender:
The use of words expressing something other than their literal intention. Now that IS irony!

AND YOU CAN'T JUST GO AROUND MAKING UP YOUR OWN DEFINITIONS! THAT LEADS TO CHAOS!!!

That's what I was trying to say. I remembered that episode of Futurama.

Ironically, irony is used in the opposite way that it was intended a few decades ago. Irony instead now means a fortunate coincidence.

STUPID NEW IRONY: I'm glad I put my valuable items in that safety deposit box and got those new locks. There was a series of burglaries in my neighborhood recently.

AWESOME IRONY: I'm glad I put my valuable items in that safety deposit box and got those new locks. There was a seri--OH **** MY KEYS

New irony needs a word of its own, so that the bastardization of irony may cease.
