gomper Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 The guilt donation at the check out. "Would you like to donate 89 cents for hand sanitizers for the military?" Um...no.

ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Stop it...this has never happened! Maybe you interpreted a "c'mon dumb ass, you are not that uber cool that you have never ordered coffee in a Starbucks and just want to look cool o the rest of people in line" look for blank stare you describe above. But on a coffee note, Luke warm coffee in vey nice restaurants seems to be pervasive these days.if I am getting desert after my meal, I like a cup of hot coffee with it.....is that so hard to do? People who use the word "uber" (unless they happen to be on German soil or work in the fashion industry) - - extra credit for using the word "uber" when accusing someone else of trying to show off how "cool" they are). This is America - - stick with "dumb a$$." Roll Tide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ironic, as one of my pet peeves is people who act like the English language is some sort of holy fixture that needs to be revered.......when in fact it has constantly evolved through the centuries, adapting words from all languages to become by far the most versatile language for broad and precise communication. PeopleOriginally Latin.....derived from 1500s French. whoDerived from Germanic language use 1300s French theAncient Greek word Germanic languages uberThe offending word in question unlessThis one is English in origin theyNorse origin ......I think my point is made.

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I agree. At best, it's an ill- fitting use of the word of ironic. People mis-use the word ironic all the time. Not really. There is a new/modern definition of irony. It is called situational irony. Is this what you are referring to people messing up? People get all bent when the traditional definition of irony isn't used. Alanis Morrissette's song "Ironic" revolves around situational irony. You know the song... NOW the classic example of situational irony. ;-) :-P An old man turned ninety-eight He won the lottery and died the next day It's a black fly in your Chardonnay It's a death row pardon two minutes too late Isn't it ironic, don't you think? It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take And who would've thought it, it figures Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye He waited his whole damn life to take that flight And as the plane crashed down he thought "Well isn't this nice" And isn't it ironic, don't you think? It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take And who would've thought it, it figures Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you When you think everything's okay and everything's going right And life has a funny way of helping you out when You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face A traffic jam when you're already late A "No Smoking" sign on your cigarette break It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife It's meeting the man of my dreams, and then meeting his beautiful wife (husband) And isn't it ironic, don't you think? A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take And who would've thought it, it figures Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out Helping you out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 So how is listening to Journey ironic? LoL... Touche! But I will take a hipster stab @ it. Journey in its heyday was as monolithic and mainstream as one could get! Even R.E.M breaking in could have never thought to have aspired to such heights (go figure what was to become). Now of all things... Listening to such mainstream is actually cool and different. R.E.M will soon be ironic. :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
