The Daily Telegraph spoke to Jay Fullmer,38,who became the first American to get to grips with the concept of irony,yesterday.
"It was weird" Fullmer said "I way in London and,like,talking to this guy and he said"great weather,eh?"and I thought -wait a minute!,it's like,no way is it great weather".
Fullmer soon realised that the other man's 'mistake' was deliberate.
Fullmer who is married with 2 children,aged 3 & 8,planned to use irony himself in future.
"I'm like,using it all the time"he said."Last week I was like,grilling steaks and burned them, so I turned to everyone and said "great weather,eh?"
