Watch your tone, shipoopie, or we’ll liberate the shit out of you.

1. My definition of irony is slightly more accurate than Alanis Morrisette’s.

2. From the wiki (and wiki is ALWAYS accurate, right?!):
“After the fact, the character was also compared to the later US Secretary of State and controversial Nobel Peace Prize laureate Henry Kissinger, however, it is unlikely that he served as a basis for Dr. Strangelove as, at the time the film was made, Kissinger was only a Harvard professor who wrote some books on nuclear war strategy, being relatively unknown to the public.”

Many articles have been penned regarding Morisette’s misuse of irony, and how ignorance is not the same thing as linguistic drift. That leaves me wondering…
Is it ironic that Morisette has come full circle, evading the contemporary parlance, and managed to accurately capture the true, etymological definition of the term?
Is it merely a coincidence, or is she an uncredited and unappreciated scholar? If she were, would that be ironic?
Is it ironic that no two pseudo-intellectuals can agree on a modern definition of the term?
Are none of these actually examples of irony? Would it be ironic if that were true? Or the opposite? Now I’ve confused myself. Is it late enough in the afternoon for scotch yet? Does it matter if it’s Friday?
