Talk:Death by Irony

I have a grasp on what Irony is, on a 'know it when I see it' level. I don't understand what "allegorical or lyrical" means.

Is this trope "someone/something dies in an ironic way (or maybe at least with ironic circumstances, if such a distinction exists)" or is it something else (perhaps more narrow)?

Should I add a Needs a better name tag or should we change the description?
