I reasearched 'Irony' on the interwebbut I'm still no wiser as to what defines something as ironic or merely unfortunate coincidence or just plain old sarcasm. So I tread lightly when I say something is ironic as it's a bit of a minefield full of pedant mines.

It's a tricky one.Futurama taught me that irony is :
"The use of words expressing something other than their literal intention."
but I think, like any language, just use it in a way that is meaningful. Except irony, of course, which has to be the opposite, ironically.
