“If that’s what you want to do, go ahead.”

One person explained it this way: “Irony is most commonly found in words used to express a meaning that is the exact opposite of what is being said, for example “oh, great” when something bad happens. In conversation, irony give shades of hidden deeper meaning to jokes, puns, and clever arguments, to purposely contradict the meaning intended by a statement, as part and parcel of the process of expressing it.”
