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.

fisherman's sarcasm

When someone uses a sarcastic statement to elicit a response from someone else to gain knowledge of that person's thoughts or feelings.
Boy: Why are you so down? Sarcastic tone or light sarcastic aura Is it because I like someone else?

Girl: Very defensive tone What?? No way! You're not my type!

Boy: Relax, I was just joking. (Man, she was heated. There's a good chance that she DOES like me based on that defensive response. Thanks to a little fisherman's sarcasm, now I know her true feelings.)

Hym “That would have been a good clip. ‘I’m a sarcastic cuck!’ I really need to invest in some video editing softwares. But yeah, I’m sure getting paid by a billionaire to do a less-good job than me is great.”
