Depending on how it's used, sarcasm can be a defense against stupidity or stupidity itself.

Stupidity: When someone asks someone else a decent question and they reply rudely with unneeded sarcasm.
Defense against stupidity: When someone asks a stupid question that more than deserves a sarcastic answer.
When I asked Jo if she was gonna order ramen again, she said "Nooooo. I'm not gonna order what I order every day."
That sarcasm was totally unnecessary, and stupid.

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*

{sarcasm} 

syntax used in emails, forums and instant messaging to indicate the start of a sarcastic tone thereby eliminating confussion for the reader. this should be used in conjunction with the {/sarcasm} operator to show the conclusion of the sarcasm.

the same style should be applied to other speech patterns when meaning can not be derived from text alone. other examples include {ball busting} or {grumble}.

NOTE: the prefered square brackets should be used whenever possible

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.
