For that record;
Jimi Heselden's death wasn't ironic nor is any examples used in the Alanis Morissette song.

It doesn't, it is kind of implied. I posted the knee right after so people might get a clearer picture...

Another example of how English majors / grammar Nazis stifle the evolution of language by suppressing the vernacular.

There are words that describe the examples used in Alanis Morissette's song and Jimi's death no need to create or misuse another.

But hey, it seems like you've had a tough day at the office; do you want to talk about it? Or better yet, you hold that thought because I'll be in Orchard Park on Sunday and we can chat then. I'll buy a round of beers. What do you say big guy?

Segways are hella gay. Going out on one is like choking to death on glitter.
