Madonna was in Great Britain for too long. And there she learned a 3 syllable word: i-ron-y. The Brits, being dumbed down like us, consistently misuse this word - often mistaking sarcasm for irony. It is a major peeve of mine!

Plus, she said he was a black Muslim because she KNOWS he is a black Muslim. She doesn't hang with Israeli politicians for nothing!

“...often mistaking sarcasm for irony.”

A lot of people mistake “uncanny” for ironic. They’ll say something like, “Wasn’t it ironic how that old dog found it’s way back home after all that time?”.
