Is this ironic?

There's an online dictionary that I check almost every day, for its Word of the Day, or for the definition of any word I need. (Okay, so I'm a word nerd. Get over it. I have.)
Anyway, the word has not been changed in the last couple of weeks. It appears to be stuck on this:

sustain
Definition: (verb) to keep in existence or continue.

I think that's irony. I'll have to look it up.

Your right, you are a word geek.

Here's one for you: GEEK is a slang term, noting individuals as "a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly intellectual".[1] Formerly, the term referred to a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken, bat or snake.

Bobby, you can be a GEEK all you like BUT please no biting heads off any living, breathing beings... P-L-E-A-S-E!
