The adjective for metal is metallic.

Not so for iron, which is ironic.

I'd generally use "ferrous". I think both are correct interchangeably outside of chemistry.

I think you might be referring to Abe Froman, the Sausage King of Chicago. He prefers to be addressed as Mr. Froman.

Wow, bravo good sir. Well done!

I prefer iron-y.

It's not ironic. It's just coincidental.

Now fork over those ladyfingers, cookie.

The song Ironic contains a list of many things, none of which are ironic, making the song extremely ironic.

It's so funny that people from Baltimore have approximately the same issue with that sentence as a shoeless hillbilly from Texas. I like those guys.
