Irony

Irony—a figure of speech where the intended meaning is the opposite of the literal meaning.

Here’s a soundbite from the movie Con-Air:

Irony adds humor or to critically highlight discrepancies between expectations and reality.

How about a tiny Chihuahua named ‘Goliath?’

Or you might exclaim ‘What a beautiful day!’ during a storm.

Irony can be a powerful tool in communication, allowing speakers and writers to convey subtlety in their message and engage their audience on a more thoughtful level.

It encourages listeners to read between the lines and interpret the deeper meanings behind words.
