i-ro-ny: the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning.
That seems more like the definition of sarcasm. I-ro-ny (not I-ir-ny, spelled the same but pronounced differently and means "like iron") is more like a related two-part statement where both parts are true and the second part contradicts or is hypocritical of the first part. The second part can also be omitted if it's common knowledge like in my example.
I don't believe iron is pronounced like that, and I think "ferrous" is the word for "like iron" or more accurately, "containing iron." edit: of course, you were probably joking, but I take this very seriously!
I wasn't joking. From Dictionary.com:
i·ron·y [ahy-er-nee] –adjective consisting of, containing, or resembling iron.

Prof. Oak: It's only Chansey if Krabby won't let go. Bye, now.
Ash: I don't think I'm going to call him anymore.

That's my little buddy! Can you make him avatar-sized for me? I'll owe you a million cookies!

You should stick to m-w.com imo.

There can only be one, like in that foreign movie where there could only be one, and in the end there is only one dude left, because that was the point.

What about irony? This is the official Moogle Mystery Dungeon thread, I thought.
