meta-sarcasm

The act of striking the balance between coming across as sarcastic and coming across as sincere, so it is unclear as to whether you are being sarcastic. Not to be confused with post-sarcasm (meta-irony is to post-irony as meta-sarcasm is to post-sarcasm) which is being sincere in message while coming across as sarcastic in form.
Michelle and I got in an argument yesterday, but I think we've resolved it - she seems calm about it. I asked if she wanted to hang out, and she replied, "Sure, I would love to hang out today😉". I think she might be playing Schroedinger's feeling concealment. I hate meta-sarcasm.
