  This is just my observation of the current definition of the word. I do not know if I unwittingly stole it from someone. I did not see this result in the list of google hits: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6786082 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6786082

    It's a striking phrase, but not quite right. ... If you can recognize the way in which it is not quite right, I think you will have recognized the genius of the attempt.

      I do not understand how my opinion can be judged "not quite right"? This is my impression of the concept people seem to have in mind when they use the word irony. I am not saying this is the definition of irony. "From what I can tell most people's definition is something between 'serendipity's evil twin' and 'partially related.'" --dfc[1] [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6786082 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6786082
