1. A cutting, often ironic remark intended to wound.
2. A form of wit that is marked by the use of sarcastic language and is intended to make its victim the butt of contempt or ridicule.
Am I the only person who doesn't feel a need or desire to be sarcastic? It just bugs me that all these faggots at school are sarcastic/sardonic whenever they're talking to a girl, or anybody for that matter. Like, sure I can be sarcastic, but it just isn't fun. It's cheap, annoying humour that's based of what somebody else is doing...For some reason girls laugh at it, guy's can't stop doing it, and here I am shaking my head at them all because its pathetic. I don't think I've ever laughed at a sarcastic comment and whenever one of my friends makes one(like every 5 seconds), I can't help but think he's a little turd who doesn't know how to make a good joke yet. I dunno, this is more of a rant than a revelation, but there's nothing more annoying than sarcasm in my mind.
Oscar Wilde: Sarcasm is proverbially described as “the lowest form of humor but the highest form of wit” (a quotation sometimes ascribed to Oscar Wilde, but untraceable).
Wikipedia: Sarcasm is sneering, jesting, or mocking a person, situation or thing. It is strongly associated with irony, with some definitions classifying it as a type of verbal irony intended to insult or wound -- stating the opposite of the intended meaning, e.g. using "that's amazing" to mean "that's awful". It is used in a humorous manner, often harshly, and is expressed through vocal intonations such as over-emphasizing the actual statement or particular words. Use of sarcasm is sometimes viewed as an expression of concealed anger.
Mabye I'm just not a naturally angry person.
Here's a good link for anybody to learn about sarcasm: http://www.sarcasmsociety.com/
It seems that sarcasm is used to convey your 'cleverness'. It would seem sarcastic people seem to have something to prove to people about themselves. All in all, I see sarcasm as some tool in a wankfest to prove he's the 'most clever' person in a group. Whatever...
If anybody else has anything to say on sarcasm, either for or against, I'd love your opinions...No really! Others of you might think i'm an idiot, or that I don't "get it".
In that case, carry on faggots.
