OutlawGene Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 my vocab sucks i mean i understand words but i cant figure out a definition for em it doesnt make sense but thats how it is. I hate dictionary's for some reason i can't figure out what meaning i should memorize for the word :-/ so i fail with learning with dictionaries. ok so i will donate to anyone who replies to this topic with definitions of words with the word included. dont take it out of the dictionary ill know and i wont donate. please tell me your vocabulary skills.U need to use the most commonnly used meaning for the word and no other meaning. explain ironic to me please using examples if you can and reason why the example is ironic.
X`terrania Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 (edited) What the !@#$%^&* do you want exactly? Oh... irony. I'll let someone else grab this, because I'm not a teacher or anything...but; a good example of irony is saying something like "They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance." before getting shot in the eye.

rootbear75 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 (edited) Irony is when you expect one thing to happen, yet something completely unexpected happenslike in a shakespeare play, if you expect the characters to live happily ever after, then all of a sudden, one of the characters gets shot...... etc.And to rewrite what x'terr wrote: (X`terrania)>bragging about how the enemy can't hit you, and then they hit you a minute later PlethoraPlethora means to be in excess, as in if you have a lot of somethingThere was a plethora of canned corn at the store BTW, what level of vocabulary are you going for?Highschool? middle school? elementary? Edited October 5, 2007 by rootbear75
OutlawGene Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Posted October 5, 2007 well yeah elementary will work so will middle school, highschool and college levels. Im bad at vocabulary in general.

Samapico Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Just thought of something that would be ironic... If someone works for animal rights (like PETA or whatever) all his life, and ends up getting killed by a bear or something. I'd laugh
jacob hunter! Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 Well the real irony is outlawgene was telling lies!
Samapico Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 That wouldn't be very ironic really...
