An unexpected result Urban Dictionary

- Urban Dictionary

A gat, peice, heat, or any kind of handgun. Urban Dictionary

Comically antiquated variation on 'ironic' presently used most often to emphasise the unseriousness of a point. 'Ironical', like many nouns accepting the -ical adjectival suffix (e.g., poetical, hermetical, etc.) fell into disuse in favour of the shorter -ic form (e.g., poetic, hermetic, etc.) in Early Modern English. The anachronistic 'ironical' is therefore most commonly used in current speech to suggest the absurdity of an expression. Urban Dictionary

An unexpected result, often the opposite of what was expected to happen. Urban Dictionary

The process by which an individual "iron-lungs" a vape hit. Withholding vapor to the cages of the lungs in order to increase buzz probability. Also, can be used to refer to withholding marijuana in the chest to increase the chances of THC absorption. The breaking down of nicotine in the lungs to increase the passing to the brain. Urban Dictionary
