It's like goldy and bronzy except it's made of iron.
But irony itself can be understood in several different ways.
The first is refered to as Socratic Irony in which a teacher acts foolish in order to reveal the truth of the situation.
The second form is often interpreted as sarcasm but it's not used maliciously but rather tongue in cheek or humourously. The idea simply means you mean the opposite of what you actually said.
The third form is dramatic or tragic irony which usually involves a result different than what you'd expect. Often times this is a cruel, or strange twist of fate.

isn't that when Bush tells congress to be fiscally responsible while he's spending 12 billion a month in "emergency" funds on his BS war?

I do; but somehow I suspect you don't understand ridicule.
