It's Ironic

[bannork]

I apologise for my misspelling of the word 'vacillate' in the previous post, as a native speaker of English I should have vacillated before replying, but unfortunately I forgot the golden rule, namely don't drink and type.

It was ironic but you didn't get it as usual.

Even a native speaker can make a misstake.

Epecially if he's mediocre,like you in English and Meadish in Swedish.

Mediocrity will rule the future of this forum with you two sycophants licking the hand of master Yoot-who's not totally clueless.

Isn't it ironic? Snowleopard is now on holiday. Hopefully, he will see the irony of the situation.

Is this Ironic?

Dick Cheney is hosting the Gerald Ford Awards for Journalism ... in a closed door gala.

Farangs come to Thailand to sunbathe yet Thais want to be white, some farangs like to live in a wooden traditional Thai house in the fields yet the Thais in those houses want to live in a brand new house in a dull suburb on the outskirts of Bangkok. Like เกรงใจ I suspect there is no one adjective to describe ironic, please prove me wrong someone.

This Thai proverb is very true, and it definitely explains the same thing, but it does not have the same sense as 'ironic', I think.

A corresponding English proverb is 'The grass is always greener on the other side'.

Situations you describe I don't think can be called Ironic. Its a bit like Alanis Morissette song "Ironic"....that there is no irony in the lyrics: "The irony of 'Ironic' is that it's not an ironic song at all."

Sorry to look at an old post , time on my hands at work etc.

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

= Irony
