Ross

I believe the answer is:

ironic

(Other definitions for ironic that I've seen before include "Meaning the contrary of what is expressed" , "Type of situation where one is mocked by fate" , "Sneering" , "W. Country port, its Channel" , "likely to provoke a wry smile" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
