Sarcasm

The connection between the author of wit and the person who doesn't get it.

Sarcasm at its prime:

"I'm sorry, i thought we were having a state the obvious contest here"

"I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong"

"Let me know if anything I say offends you; I may want to offend you again later"

Salman: It was Amazing! You are a smoothie genius.
Jenny: Really?
Salman: Yeah! I just love the fact that it was warm and that you used raw fruits instead of ripe fruits. And adding salt was the greatest idea ever. Splendid!
Jenny: I'm glad you like it.
Salman: I freaking LOVE IT! I love salt in my smoothies.
Jenny: I honestly did not think that it was that good.
Salman: Oh trust me friend it was Genius.

Sarcasmicus

A rare breed of humans that have the ability to take any given situation and peel it apart layer by layer and reconstruct it in a manner that is less than palatable to the "normal" populous. Often referred to as the lowest form of "wit" in the past is now being re considered as an evolutionary advance in the human condition. It is now thought to be more prevalent in persons afflicted with disorder of ADD or ADHD which is also now being considered and evolutionary advancement of the human brain as a direct result of the global industrial advancements over the past few centuries which has essential caused a leap frog effect in the human mind causing it to operate of higher more efficient levels of intellect. Which is often why persons afflicted with these "disabilities" are often miss understood. So the question could become are they really the disabled persons because they are not the norm! or will their numbers eventually surpass "the normal people" thus making the "normal" few! hence forth majority rules and is the "norm" something to think about

Oh says one of the "Sarcasmicus" breed "because I could not do that myself! thanks!

[sarcasm][/sarcasm]

Inspired from BB code, sarcasm/sarcasm are used to denote sarcastic passages in one's text when their nature is rendered ambiguous by the inability of varying tone of voice or communicating exaggerated gestures, as would be the case in person-to-person conversation. This is especially useful when the said passages could easily be misinterpreted as offensive, dimwitted or otherwise unfunny. While perfectly acceptable on the internet, the use of "bracket sarcasm end-bracket" in day-to-day conversation is considered socially awkward and should be refrained from.

Usage of sarcasm/sarcasm:

sarcasm"Insert text here"/sarcasm

Example :

"sarcasmOh my! It appears as if the oil industry is once again taking initiatives to save the environment. They have our best interests at heart and never buy patents for ludicrous sums of money that would otherwise render their industry unprofitable./sarcasm

(Notice this is the end of the sarcastic passage and the beginning of the normally-read passage)

I'm white and love grape soda.

(This passage was NOT sarcastic)"
