AskMeCha: Should I be concerned if someone told me "Ah, I see you've got an ironic t-shirt on", but I wasn't wearing the t-shirt ironically at all?
I'm worried that you'd be worried,
but if it's Winger or something, I'm far more worried.

Depends on the shirt. Can you tell us what it was?

I'm worried that irony itself is worrisome now - who knows who's being ironic and who's not? So hard for the average multi-media hipster to keep their inner book of references straight anymore.

Someone should start a clinic.

Ethylene, I'm not worried. But I'm asking if I should be worried. So I guess I'm worried about the fact that I'm not worried about the comment. You know?

Wait, is that worse?

LT: Precisely!

"Are you being sarcastic?"
"Dude, I don't even know anymore."

You should be sweatily waking up in the middle of the night.

It's the very sincerity of your T-shirt that's so ironic, agro. That's what that lame-ass guy will never understand.

but... but... I thought 911 killed irony in America!!! Oh the humanity!

Just smile and say 'I'm not being ironic, you hipster twit,' and you'll feel better.

Agropyron's question blew my mind, but Miko put it back together agin.

Miko puts me back together again, often.
