Similar to irony, only worse and less subtle.

1. A form of wit intended to make its victim the butt of contempt or ridicule, by saying something when you mean the opposite (the 'victim' should know this, other wise it won't work).

2. Intended to be bitter.

Was once witty, but is now worn out and over-used, which has resulted in losing it's impact greatly.

Is considered a part of 'dry humour' or 'dry wit'.
Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

The ability to insult the idiots without them realizing it.
e.g.

A. Do I look fat in this dress?
B. No dear you look absolutely.... beautiful. (It would be sarcasm if B actually meant to say 'ugly' instead of 'beautiful)

Only the most effective way to irritate adults, or any authority figure for that matter. Sarcasm is the use of words or phrases that mean the opposite of the message that you are trying to convey.

Also useful for fighting against stupidity, e.g. "you think it's a good idea to go jump that guy but then say hey man it's just a prank". In this situation, sarcasm is the best possible response. You should say, "yeah, right", in the most painfully obvious way as to say that you are joking. This is because, due to sarcasm's rather contradictory and convoluted nature, you automatically get PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY. The way you use plausible deniability in this context is that if your friend were to get away with it, people might say that you encouraged him by saying "yeah". However, you can claim that you were being sarcastic. On the flipside, however, if your friend were to get stabbed, you would claim sarcasm as to debunk any responsibility for your friend's new injuries.

Also commonly used when in a bad mood, to convey that you are upset but unwilling to talk about it, typically accompanied by eye rolling.
Person 1: "so, how was school"
Person 2: "just GREAT!" With such dramatic eye rolling that they may as well be wheels
Person 1: "I don't like your sarcasm"
Person 2: "what, the sarcasm I got from you?"

A form of humor that uses the contrary of what you really mean. By etimology and use is mostly used as an unsoliced attack and as a tool of bullyng by simple minds. Its not that witty and does not make you clever. No one has got efficient reply to sarcasm becayse it comes from the perception bu the user of sarcasm that the one using it is superior. Its just like bullying and used with the intention to offend. It can be good if used intelligently not to mock people that have done or said nothing mean to you
Sarcasm is exclusionary because is used toward neurodivergent people and towards lower class or education and sometimes towards "inferior" races

Sarcasm is not funny

Sarcasm is not creative but distructive

Most neurotypical people detect sarcasm its not "insulting "idiots" without them realizing" but they are too offended or they are afraid that you will overreact if they responds with another insults
