Irony is where the literal meaning of something is different or even opposite to the impli

ed meaning.

E.g: "I REALLY like your Homer Simpson tie. It's just GREAT".

Literal meaning: "I really like your Homer Simpson tie. It's just great."
Implied meaning: "Your Homer Simpson tie makes you look like the biggest chump that ever lived. Take it off and put on a real tie, you w**ker."
