Hypeirony 

Hype-irony (hi-pi-row-ny) -; The act of being somewhat of a wingman and hyping something a person said with at least 3 people present all in all, while at the same time applying sarcasm in a way that the majority of the people that are present sense that you actually think said person is a blatant idiot.

It's important to do it in a convincing, hype-esk fashion. Otherwise, it's just regular sarcasm. Let hypeirony be a surprise element. If you're in an office environment, limit the amount of hypeirony and spread it out evenly during the course of a week, and apply hypeirony when the noise level at the office is at the lowest.

Closely related to trolling.
At a party:

Person 1: Hey, let's put more Adele on the playlist!
Person 2: Yeah, let's put more Adele on the playlist, she's awesome! (Hypeirony)

At the office:

Person 1: Frank better deliver that report in time
Frank's office friend in the back of the office: Yeah, he totally has to deliver, or else you'll get him! (Hypeirony)

Hyperion 

A megaguild/conglomerate of gaming clans who achieved greatest prominence in the game Darkfall Online, where they dominated the initial European release server with vast numbers and a somewhat unique feudal approach to political organization. The kingdom, also known as Hyperion, Hypertron, or Lumen Solis, was denounced by many as a zerg because of this early domination of the game, which many saw as restrictive of the pvp the game design was supposed to engender. Others hailed the achievement of Hyperion as extraordinary for the Strategy/Conquest MMO genre.
"Hyperion was a marvel to behold. No one else ever topped their occupation of 28 clanstones in the game Darkfall Online, nor their deep political system."
