/lounge/ - First American to grasp concept of irony

Jay Fullmer, 38, yesterday became the first American to get to grips with the concept of irony.
"It was weird" Fullmer said. "I was in London and like, talking to this guy and it was raining and he pulled a face and said, "Great weather eh?" and I thought - "Wait a minute, no way is it great weather".
Fullmer then realised that the other man's 'mistake' was in fact deliberate.
Fullmer, who is 39 next month and married with two children, aged 8 and 3, plans to use irony himself in future.
"I'm, like, using it all the time" he said. "Last weekend I was grilling steaks, and I burned them, and I said "Hey, great weather."

That's not very elegant use of post referencing, or the English language for that matter!

This happens to me often. When it rains someone (usually of older age) will pass by and ask "Weather's great, ain't it?"; it's usually done to spark the start of a conversation, or just as a friendly gesture. Though, I can't speak for all of the USA on this.
