O humor e a ironia fazem parte da vida quotidiana da cada pessoa. As frases irónicas podem ser ouvidas na televisão, no rádio, na conversa diária. Quando as pessoas falam com os amigos podem usar frases irónicas para brincar. Porém, a ironia pode usar-se num tom negativo, quando as pessoas falam com alguém quem não gostam.
