Is it true that most Americans think the word 'irony' means 'made of iron'? As in this sentence: " The carpenter's nails were very irony and so too was his hammer - except for the hammer's handle which was woody."
Or:
"The carpenter's nails were not irony but were made of hardened steel. The irony was lost on the carpenter."

Yup.
We also believe that monogomy is a type of wood. And we also believe that everyone who lives in Britain has tea with the Queen.
Yup. We believe all of that. And we believe that bowler hats are the modern day fashion in Britain.
Word of note: Don't dare tell us that this is something that you've just heard, and hence is innocent. If so, you have no right to ever criticize Americans for being ill informed, as you may be the dumbest idiot that side of the Atlantic.
I've got some irony. Now bend over, while I shove it up your bum.

I very much doubt that most Americans think the word 'irony' means 'made of iron'.

I am afraid a great many do believe "irony" means it is too hard for them.

Nope, the irony is that us Canadians don't like wrinkles in our shirts.

Ironic that you should ask. In order to iron out your question, the answer is a steely "No!". Americans are not dumb.
