There's only one real definition for irony, and then there's incorrect Alanis Morrisette irony..
I explained it like this to a friend of mine - he asked if irony is, for example, running away from a bear, climbing a tree, and the tree gets struck by lightning.
I explained that, no, irony would be more like if he ran from a bear, climbed a tree to get away from it, and then discovered the tree was MADE OUT OF BEARS..
