There was a massive debate some years back on whether attitudinals could
be used ironically, sarcastic or with tongue in cheek. It was never
resolved to everyone's satisfaction, although the official position is
clear: attitudinals cannot be used in this way because they are not
propositions.
You could say .u'i.zo'o, but it is not clear what the relationship
between the two is (attitudinals don't have the strict grouping rules
of, say tanru - so it's generally assumed that i someone says
".oi.ui.aunairu'e" they are expressing complaint, happiness and a lack
of desire in unspecified proprotions, or an emotion which is a peculiar
mixture of the three).
