contradicts the real literal meaning. It is used as an
effective language device which can take any of the
forms, such as situational, dramatic, or verbal. Basically,

what one expects. Irony pertains to situations. Origin: From
the Latin word eirein meaning “to speak”.

or convey scorn. It can also be expressed as an

or via late Latin, from Greek sarkazein, meaning
"tear flesh".
