Do you know what the world needs? I mean aside from peace, an end to all suffering more beef instead of pork sausages? The world needs a word that we can use that means "ironic but in an alanis sort of way thats not actually irony at all".
Maybe we could call just call this word alanis, ala The Meaning of Liff. We could then say things like "Isn't that just very alanis" and be safe in knowing we are grammatically correct.
Yes that's what the world needs. That and beef sausages.

I bought some venison and partridge sausages at the weekend. There were some beef sausages for sale on the same market stall, actually. Very nice they are, too.

I think coincidental could be substituted in many of the inappropriate uses of the word irony. How about irany?

Beef sausages can be found, you’re not looking hard enough.
And we can’t use irany - that’ll only lead the tabloids to start using iraqy.

I think the word you’re looking for is bummer. As for beef saussages they do exist, they just don’t taste very nice. You have to suffer for your place in paradise. When I roast in hell for not having be kosher I’ll comfort myself by thinking of all the nice saussage and bacon sarnies I have had.

I believe they said she meant “unfortunate”

Oh I know beef sausages can be found, but I don’t want to have to hunt. I just want them easily available.

On behalf of Canada, I apologise for Alanis Morrissette. We are doing everything we can to ensure that she doesn’t inflict her music on the general public in future. Thank you.

Perhaps Goldy or Bronzy?
Anyway, Alanis was going to say “A traffic jam when you’re already late… on your way to a meeting about the problems of traffic conjestion”, but she realised that it didn’t rhyme!

I will now use this from this day forth.
