Irony has several meanings, some are:

Socratic Irony, to feign ignorance so as to force the other person to define.

Dramatic Irony, where the audience knows something the actors do not (e.g. the killer is in the closet.)

Literary Irony, to use a word in a manner opposite to its definition/intention (naming a chihuahua Giant.)

Cosmic Irony, a situation where it appears the gods are playing with humans (The Gift of the Magi.)
