Irony (from the Ancient Greek eirnea, meaning hypocrisy, deception, or feigned ignorance) is a situation, literary technique, or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity or discordance that goes strikingly beyond the most simple and evident meaning of words or actions. Verbal and situational irony is often intentionally used as emphasis in an assertion of a truth. The ironic form of simile, irony used in sarcasm, and some forms of litotes may involve the emphasis of one's meaning by deliberate use of language that states the direct opposite of the truth, or drastically and obviously understates a factual connection.

I was unequipped for this world.
And they are fucking unequipped for me.
Except with stupidity,
mediocrity,
dull witted dull edged
weaponry,
I wish the part that gave a damn could be unequipped,
