EN: Irony; paradox
This is the universe's ultimate 'lol'. It's the traffic enforcer getting a ticket, the fire station burning down, or posting 'I hate social media' on Facebook. It's that moment of cosmic side-eye when what you expect to happen is the exact opposite of what actually goes down. It's the hugot of logic itself.
From 'baligho' (ironic, paradoxical, absurd).
