unironically
The new overused word that everyone uses incorrectly. It's become the new "literally."
What it actually means: done/said in a serious way, even though one would expect it to be sarcastic and/or jokey.
Nowadays many people (including me sometimes) use it to put an emphasis on something, substituting it for words like "genuinely," even though they have very different meanings.

Example:
Correct usage:
Person 1: Have you ever seen Tommy Wiseau's The Room? I love to watch it with friends just so that we can make fun of it.
Person 2: I actually think it's a good movie, no joke. I watch it unironically.
Incorrect usage:
Person 1: You won't believe this! I unironically just saw Harry Styles eating at a restaurant!
Person 2: You didn't see him ironically? What does that mean? How would you have seen him in an ironic way?
