A friend and I were having a discussion, and came across an unusual situation.
What word would you correctly use to say "this object has the property of iron"? We can't think of one, the only thing that came up is adding the 'ic' ending.
ex. His sword is ironic.
I would prefer to say "He has an iron sword", but that doesn't answer the question. But ironic makes me think of the other definition. Could this sentence be grammatically correct? Any suggestions that don't involve messing with the sentence structure?
Perhaps he was naked and sexually excited, leading to the ironic sword.
@Sae28,
His sword has certain ferrous qualities.
@Sae28,
I think at some carnivals they have large wheels you can ride in that are made of irony.
@Lordyaswas,
YESS! Thank you! =)
That was a ferry good answer. Oh, the irony..
