TAHAWK 1420 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 He-man woman-haters who will have trouble with change involving females/coed is a compliment? Oh really? Relative to some shots dished out here, perhaps it is, but that characterization communicates in-and-of itself. Link to post Share on other sites

Stosh 3452 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Maybe we need to highlight all sarcasm in a certain text color so those that don't have a sense of humor won't be confused. Link to post Share on other sites
TAHAWK 1420 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Communication on line is harder than in person -- and often safer. Irony may be humorous. Sarcasm is not intended to be humorous. Sarcasm - the use of irony to mock or convey contempt. "his voice, hardened by sarcasm, could not hide his resentment" a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain a mode of satirical wit depending for its effect on bitter, caustic, and often ironic language that is usually directed against an individual synonyms: derision, mockery, ridicule, scorn, sneering, scoffing.
