Irony wtf

The Question: Why is it called "irony" if it has nothing to do with an iron? or does it? ~Brian

Tha Answer:

Ok so let's see here... durt durt n durt... the term Irony originates from some made up Greek Sparticus resembling character that always tricked a dumber more arrogant Sparticus dude... The point of the comic was that a crafty, strategic, intelligent mind will always prevail... My hypothesis is that Warner Bros got their concept of the Coyote and Roadrunner skit from this classic comic... Same with Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer (not to be confused with Rush's Tom Sawyer who may or may not be the same Tom Sawyer) exc...Anyways the tricky character's name was Eiron which evolved into eironeia when undertones of the comic were used by Socrates and Aristotle... blah blah blah that's where the word Irony comes from...

After years and years of scouring the world conquering and raping cultures of their languages, cooking recipes, natural resources, art, women and anything else Western Europe (which wasn't Western Europe yet to my knowledge) felt like taking (not to put too fine a point on it) they ended up with some sort of chaotic cultural conglomerate of a language that was spiraling out of control... Unfortunately for them its not like they had computers and database technology so it must have been a nightmare to keep track of who stole what from who, or how to spell or pronounce certain things exc... blah blah blah... Anyways, the outcome of all this confusion and negligence is the English language... They backed themselves into sooooo many corners of inconsistency that at one point they just sorta said "Fuck it... make them just learn it like this... who cares if almost all of it makes no sense... we have weapons..." and so it came to pass...

Now... I don't think anyone on the planet ACTUALLY knows when the word "iron" was invented and if they say they did I think they would be lying... The gist of it is that Iron is one of the elements on the periodic table (FE (Don't even get me started)) and several tools were made of FE (among other things) and have been used to straighten clothing since before history was recorded or complex languages existed... We call an iron an iron because the guy who invented it probably had no personality... unfortunately for nerds way back when they didn't have internet porn and Mortal Kombat to make them as cutting edge as the nerds in today's world... I'm guessing they also lacked formal copyright law but it is possible they had their procedures... I just don't know if anyone had naming rights to FE and since no one had a good explanation of why we pronounced FE as "iron" yet it always seemed to come up it was best to just let it slide...

In a nutshell... don't try to understand the English language everrrrrrr... it is illogical and confusing because the inventors of it were illogical and confused... If you are not prepared to abandon your reason like our ancestors than maybe English just isn't for you....
