sarcasm


 * Definition:**

From the Greek meaning "to tear flesh", sarcasm involves bitter, caustic language that is meant to hurt or ridicule someone or something. It may use irony as a device, but not all ironinc statements are sarcastic, that is, intending ridicule. When well done, sarcasm can be witty and insightful; when poorly done, it's simply cruel.


 * Examples:**

"That's so funny I forgot to laugh!" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm
