OP I am often confronted with people who do not grasp the ironic nature of an utterance. I have heard the term "irony deafness" used to describe this problem, and while accurate it is certainly unwieldy. How would you say this in a single word using Greek or Latin roots, or does anyone know any other synomyms that are appropriate?
