Isn’t anyone ironic anymore? Or perhaps the better question would be: Doesn’t anyone know what irony is anymore?
I have lately come to discover that I am highly ironic. I suppose I always kinda knew but just didn’t really know what to call this trait of mine, LOL.
I always thought the biggest failing of Americans was their lack of irony. They are very serious there! Naturally, there are exceptions… the Jewish, Italian, and Irish humor of the East Coast.
Colin Firth
Perhaps that is why – Americans aren’t really taught much about irony or may not have much of an understanding of the concept. I know I used to be pretty lost about it but now I realize…perhaps that is why I am so often misunderstood, ha. π
Love this:
Irony is the gaiety of reflection and the joy of wisdom.
Anatole France
