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.

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.
