ironic
1. A situation where the result is a complete reverse (and practical mockery) of what was expected2. A word heavy misused and abused in conversation today, mostly by people who think that using the word in any way will automatically make them seem intelligent. The word is usually misused to exactly mean "coincidental" or "tragic", when again it doesn't mean this (see #1)ironic
Example:
Isn't it ironic that ISIS is attacking France with weapons Made in France but sold to Syria.
People posting things with #PrayForParis, while their government earnt the money to provide for internet by selling weapons to ISIS, is quite ironic.
