    1. A situation where the result is a complete reverse (and practical mockery) of what was expected

    2. 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 doesnt mean this (see #1)
