cruel irony

The act of using somebody's words against them, usually when something to their great detriment is about to be inflicted upon them. Usually in the form of a gloating statement.

Kuzko: "Okay, I admit it. Maybe I wasn't as nice as I should have been. But, Yzma, do you really want to kill me?"

Yzma: "Just think of it as you're being let go...that your life's going in a different direction...that your body's part of
a permanent outplacement."

Kronk: "Hey, that's kind of like what he said to you when you got fired."

Yzma: "I know. It's called a cruel irony...like my dependence on you."

ebs

Contraction of 'emo bullshit' - is usually extended to 'ebsing' and/or 'ebsed'.

Used to describe the irrational, spontaneous and extremely anti-social and negative behaviour often displayed by 'emos' and 'scene kids'. Can be extended to people outside this idiom, in which case the inferred intensity of the 'emo bullshit' can vary greatly depending on the context. Can also be applied to objects.

The kids at my party got drunk and started ebsing...they smashed one of the front windows for no reason at all!

My girlfriend ebsed last night and wouldn't tell me what the fuck was wrong.

My computer's ebsing, and won't load itunes.

I can't put up with any more of her ebs. It's her set of issues, not mine.
