That is the ultimate irony, she wrote a song entitled “isn’t it ironic?” and didn’t manage to come up with a single example - that scored a 10 also!

“Isn’t it ironic?”

No.

“Don’t you think?”

No, I don’t.

“A little too ironic”

Unfortunate doesn’t equal ironic!

One of my favorite rules of thumb is that the term “irony” is misused, often because of simple laziness, more than 90% of the time. What they are really trying to describe is usually coincidence; “poetic justice” would be next.
