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.

I find it ironic that in modern usage “literally” is usually used to mean the opposite - i.e. “figuratively”.
As in... “I was so amazed my head literally exploded!”.
