sar·casm
n. 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. ...I just wanted to make sure all of you know that this exists, and is actually a very useful weapon in the fight against evil. Please, for the love of God, use this knowledge well. |

Hm. It can get extremely annoying when used too often. But yes, a powerful tool.

To fully understand this, one needs to actually be aware of what irony is. Most people (Alanis Morissette in particular) seem to get irony mixed up with coincidence quite often.
i·ro·ny n. 1. a) The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning. b) An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning. c) A literary style employing such contrasts for humorous or rhetorical effect. 2. a)Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs: “Hyde noted the irony of Ireland's copying the nation she most hated” (Richard Kain). b) An occurrence, result, or circumstance notable for such incongruity. |

Sixth grade parent confrence (English/History):
Teacher says, "Your child is very sarcastic." Father says, "Sarcastic? Why, not at all!" Mother says, "Gee, I wonder where she got that from. -evil glare-" ---- But that was in sixth grade where the teacher deserved every maliciously sarcastic comment I gave her. And the assignment I call "A Creative Title". That's what she said in the instructions afterall... Okay, okay. There's a useless post that has pretty much nothing to do with your topic! |
