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.)

Inspired from BB code, sarcasm/sarcasm are used to denote sarcastic passages in one's text when their nature is rendered ambiguous by the inability of varying tone of voice or communicating exaggerated gestures, as would be the case in person-to-person conversation. This is especially useful when the said passages could easily be misinterpreted as offensive, dimwitted or otherwise unfunny. While perfectly acceptable on the internet, the use of "bracket sarcasm end-bracket" in day-to-day conversation is considered socially awkward and should be refrained from.
Usage of sarcasm/sarcasm:

sarcasm"Insert text here"/sarcasm

Example :

"sarcasmOh my! It appears as if the oil industry is once again taking initiatives to save the environment. They have our best interests at heart and never buy patents for ludicrous sums of money that would otherwise render their industry unprofitable./sarcasm

(Notice this is the end of the sarcastic passage and the beginning of the normally-read passage)

I'm white and love grape soda.

(This passage was NOT sarcastic)"

Sarcasm/Sarcasm is when something you say is sarcastic. It is necessary since it's practically impossible to tell sarcasm online as you would confuse what they say as stupidity or something. You put "Sarcasm" at the beginning of the sarcastic sentence, put sarcastic words, then put "/Sarcasm" to end the sarcastic sentence.
SarcasmI'm sure glad that they're littering on the floors and beaches. Isn't it great that sea turtles will eat the plastic, choke, and die instead of eating jellyfish. Who needs to use garbage cans anyway?/Sarcasm

This was an example of a sarcastic sentence.

I like Orange Fanta soda.

This was not an example of a sarcastic sentence.

Note that Sarcasm/Sarcasm was used.
