An Explanation

This blog uses a lot of 'scare quotes' to signify the use of 'post-irony'.

Post-irony is the use of irony to simultaneously lionise and deride the use of irony. Using 'post-irony' reduces everything that is colloquial, idiomatic, politically correct, or overtly intellectual to a 'laughing stock' of its own 'socio-linguistic' creation. It is also a defence mechanism used as a shield against all criticism and a useful tool for avoiding libellious law suits.
