If that wasn't a UK site, then at least American irony isn't an oxymoronic phrase!
Mind you, then we'd have to get into a discussion of what irony means and so forth..
And here's a previous thread on that subject, kicked off by none other than you yourself WW:

- Though I have to say that (IMHeavily biasedO) the thread lacks something in Britlish input .

I mean, referring at some juncture to Alanis Morrissette's "Isn't It Ironic" as providing examples of irony? Puh-leeeze!
