Answer:

Irony

Explanation:

Irony is a literary device that is a play on words where the implied meaning is opposite of the literal meaning of what was said or written. There is a deeper meaning to the words used, which is conveyed in the situation that is actually the opposite of the meaning of the words used.

For example:

Two men are carrying a large mirror and one of them slips and loses his grip. The mirror shattered on the ground, and the other man says, "Good job."

Do you see it? He says good job but he actually means the opposite.
