7. I think the graphic for "irony" should be this:

She launched her career proclaiming "Isn't it Ironic?", yet she clearly has no idea what irony is.

Ironic, huh?

15. shouldn't it be "or bitterness"?

I mean technically speaking?

[DS1]

16. No, I meant all four options

[northzax]

17. ahh, but the 'and' implies that if it contains one of them

then it contains all of them. :toast:

wow, have I been writing my final papers too long, I realy need some sleep.

[DS1]

18. right

it contains all three, and whatever else I left out that you might be feeling, spite, anger, discontent, disgruntlement, all that stuff

[northzax]

20. oh well sure

if you'd mentioned disgruntlement I'd have known EXACTLY what you were talking about. Be specific man! :)

28. Darnit, I miss all the fun with boring old meetings.

It would be such a waste at this point to warm up a rousing differentiation on sarcasm, irony, satire, and caustic remarks.

Still, the OP was slightly off in suggesting that they are not one in the same. Irony is irony. But sarcasm, satire and caustic commentary often employ irony and can't be completely excluded as an element of definition.

And really, this isn't the Pulitzer Committee, it's a forum for informal communications amoung like-minded liberals.

:hi:

Aaaaahhhhhh. I feel better now, don't you?

[DS1]

30. I've felt rather good all day!

Must be that strange sleep concept :D

[SOteric]

31. Bah! - Sleep?!

Wuzzat?

:* -Glad you're feeling refreshed.

[DS1]

32. Remember when all your brothers became suddenly and mostly

unresponsive when it got dark? I think it's that thing. :*

[no name no slogan]

24. Now is that Alannis Morisette irony

or the real irony?

[DS1]

26. dont'cha think?

[jpgray]

27. Sardonicism is not represented
