Inshallahshaheed: The Opposite of Irony
What's the opposite of irony? You know, where a word is used to mean exactly what its supposed to mean, yet nobody seems to be aware that the word really means that thing? Like Samir Khan's nickname Inshallahshaheed, which means, literally, God willing a martyr.
Go check it out over at the Rude News and then come back and tell me how the 1st Amendment protects the speech of an American citizen inciting the deaths of U.S. soldiers during an actual shooting war?
