A way of sarcasm (chiacasm) that is mixed with witty humor, remarks that doesn't
hurt others. Examples of chiacasm can range from asking another if they are still surviving after a hard
day, or even the simple act of making somebody apologise to their
chair if they didn't heed your advice earlier. Even gushing about the best bak kwa you've tasted for an hour but then not telling others where you got it from counts.
Members of class 5-2: "I am so
beat! Why does the computer lab have to be on the 5th floor?"
Teacher(rolling her eyes): "5-2, all I can tell you is that your stamina is *brilliant*."
Student: "Don't be chiacastic, we're too tired for that."
The
teacher is being sarcastic, but not in a mean way, hence it's chiacasm. Chiacasm is a form of witty sarcasm.
