Font used in internet conversation to denote sarcasm.
Most browsers, IM clients and email applications do not have sarcastica installed thereby leading to ambiguity and confusion in text
based conversations.
Sarcastica was invented to prevent these situations by the Minister of Practicality in
2010 and has yet to find
mainstream adoption. Despite it's practicality and usefulness universal adoption was deemed to be 'a whole thing'.
Sam: What are you doing
tomorrow?
Frodo: Heading off to Mordor to destroy the One Ring of Power and save the world from the Dark Lord's wrath. Wanna come?
Sam: WTF? You serious?
Frodo: nah, kidding. My sarcastica font isn't working again.
