Oh, dude, you're really testing my non-example skills here. Okay, so like, imagine someone saying "I love Mondays" when they actually hate them - that's not verbal irony. Or when someone says "I can't wait for this 10-hour meeting" and they genuinely mean it - also not verbal irony. Basically, if someone says something and they're totally serious about it, that's a non-example of verbal irony.
a. The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.b. An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning.c. A literary style employing such contrasts for humorous or rhetorical effect. See Synonyms at wit1.2.a. Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs: "Hyde noted the irony of Ireland's copying the nation she most hated" (Richard Kain).b. An occurrence, result, or circumstance notable for such incongruity. See Usage Note at ironic.3. Dramatic irony.4. Socratic irony.
All of irony is generally just sarcasm or cynicism, whether it is verbal irony, situational irony, or dramatic irony. Irony says the opposite of what you mean. For example, let's say you spent 4 hours fixing your sister's computer. She says "Thanks" in a deadpan voice as she takes her computer. You reply, "Hey, don't hurt yourself with all that pent up gratitude you're holding inside and carrying around!"Irony like sarcasm can be said nicely without much tone and still have the same meaning and effect.Said calmly without raising your voice: "Hey, don't hurt yourself with all that pent up gratitude you're holding inside and carrying around!"Said emphatically: "Hey, don't hurt yourself with all that pent up gratitude you're holding inside and carrying around!"They both carry the same message. Often, saying irony calmly without raising your voice has a deeper effect.
