Hit with an Irony Bar
|
Dictionary.com defines "ironic" as the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning. Rain on your wedding day is unfortunate, not ironic. Name these things from history that are, in fact, ironic.

Many Looney Tunes titles are puns or gags based on cultural references less familiar today than when the cartoons were made over 50 years ago. See if you get the reference; if not, I'll educate you. You don't need to have seen the cartoons to play.
