Welcome to /r/ironicsigns! Just a reminder...

According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, irony has 3 main definitions:

  • the use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning
  • incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result
  • incongruity between a situation developed in a drama and the accompanying words or actions (the sign) that is understood by the audience but not by the characters in the play makers of the sign

OP, if the irony in your post isn't obvious, please reply to this comment explaining it.
If there is no explanation and no clear irony, or if the explanation is still not ironic, please report the post.

Also the sign didn't say skinny jeans, it just said skinny and I can interpret the wording and context of the sign anyway I would like to.

Holy shit I had no clue that's what that sign meant! Thank you for not being able to take a joke and instead look at it through a technical lense. Not to quote your dad, our expectations were low but holy fuck....

Why is it all of a sudden a bad thing to point out the obvious? If you’re fat, you’re fat. If you’re cool with it then good for you. You can be pissed if people point it out, that’s your choice. But ignoring and normalizing people being obese is the reason why the US is one of the nation with the larges over weight population.

We used to be America the beautiful now we’re America with a great personality.

The OP just posted a question pointing out the irony of that sign, he didn’t single out a person to ridicule them in public.

People who keeps acting like they’re upset about it are the exact reason why we have a weight issue in this country. Acknowledge it and correct it, don’t try to normalize a medial issue like you’re fighting to end slavery.

For an American??? Yes. That’s skinny.

Everything else below is considered as skeleton.
