That is not irony it is coincidence. If license said something like "not wreckable" now THAT would be irony.

Many MANY years ago i said something was ironic to a teacher and the whole class had to suffer through an hour long rant about the improper use of the word. I was not popular for a while and though I have forgot most of my other stuff I will never forget that. The vast majority of what people call "ironic" is not at all.

Yes very true. Especially with hipsters... Makes sense. I rant about word usage too. Thank you for the correction

I'm pretty sure it still counts as irony. There's 'dramatic irony' where a future event is foreshadowed. So like when an actor in a play says "I love the ocean and swimming" and then later drowns or something.

Grade school stuff is funny like that. Some guy I worked with always insisted on being right, and one day took it so far as to argue over the greater than and less than symbols (> & <) and he was getting angry! I was like, wtf are you serious? The little alligator always wants to eat the bigger meal!
