It is ironic to call it draconic since he's obscurely faint.
It is ironic to call it sermonic since it's extremely taint.
It is ironic to call it sardonic since she's a classy act.
It is ironic to call it bionic since he's clearly intact.
It is ironic to call it Teutonic since it's Gallic in fact.
It is ironic to call it aphonic since she's talking so loud.
It is ironic to call it cryonic since he's clad in a shroud.
It is ironic to call it nirvanic since it's a jaded crowd.
It is ironic to call it moronic since she's cleverly smart.
It is ironic to call it hedonic since he's kindly all heart.
It is ironic to call it laconic since it's garrulous art.
It is ironic to call it platonic since she's having a child.
It is ironic to call it harmonic since he's horribly wild.
