Girl: "Oh my god, are you crying?" Smarter Girl: "No, I'm just pretending to be a fountain."
Girl: "Was that sarcasm?"
Smarter Girl: "No, of course not."
Noun. A very British form of humour which derives laughs from saying something while really meaning something else. Often (though not always, contrary to popular belief) used in scathing remarks.
The word 'Sarcasm' is derived from a Greek word meaning 'tearing flesh', which is why sarcastic vegetarians are so ironic.
See also irony.
Bob: I saw 'The Others' on DVD the other day.
Dave: Oh, cool. That movie wasn't over-rated and shitty at all!
Bob: ...Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, you know.
Dave: ...Fuck you.
When one says something, but usually means the opposite.
Used sometimes in order to belittle someone and make them seem retarded... or equally to amuse and impress them with your mind. Indeed.
Betty: June hi! how are you today?
June: Menstral cycle - it's like I got a fire and ice show going off in my lower regions. It's fantastic.
Betty: Owh, doesn't sound it!
June: Umm... sarcasm?
Betty: No I'm not being sarcastic, it really doesn't sound it!
June: *slaps head*
You walk into a hospital room where your friend is on a bed with his left leg, no arms, and only half of his prick. You say,"How ya doin, man?"
He says,"Oh, just great. I feel better than ever. I could just hop all around the world, I feel so great."
You say,"Really? That's some great news."
See, this isn't your friend trying to make you look stupid, which if you said one or both of these things, you might be, it was his immune system acting due to the high levels of stupidity being taken into his brain. It automatically responded with sarcasm. So don't take it personaly.
