If I said this to you in real life, my face would look like this:
I have to hold back with people who don't know me too well. My husband and I are very sarcastic. Most of my family is sarcastic.
Can you handle sarcasm? And, are you sarcastic too?
I have taken to putting a sarcasm alert on FB posts anymore, since I have set people off but putting sarcastic posts on political memes and being attacked by the people who should have been most amused, at least I thought so. Even people I know, who should know better have been confused. Is this a sign of great sarcasm or just not knowing my audience?
A friend once told someone: βsarcasm is the lowest form of wit and the highest form of your intelligence.β
Actually I think puns are but sarcasm may come in a close second.
I think it is more just that sarcasm doesn't really come across well, when using just text. Without vocal intonations and facial expressions, sarcasm really doesn't work well in a text format unless the person reading has known you for a long time and would know when you are being sarcastic because they know you so well.
Perhaps you too shoudl obby for there beign video chat added when they add the chat feature on this site. Sarcasm woudl work so much better in tht kind of forum.
Some people can't handle my sarcasm. They take offense.
Sarcasm is the work of the Devil. (he said sarcastically)
Goodness me, I love sarcasm, as I think I am a bit of a smart alec sometimes. I would love to have a conversation with you and your hubby, all the way across the world. I am near the bottom in New Zealand, nice and peaceful here. I am retired. but not dead yet, just waiting for a non existent god to take me to the lake of fire or the other place promised to people who suck up to him.

Pretty much, but usually I end up patiently explaining things to people so I don't look like a d-ck.
Now, around my snarky family and friends, not so much.
I use sarcasm for humor or to prove a point. I have also used it to sting or cut another person when I'm angry at them or plain old don't care. I often say to people "You're a member of that 'hold my beer' family, aren't you?" then they'll smile thinking I just acknowledged their membership in an exclusive group. Most people around here aren't that bright apparently.
I am very sarcastic, and always enjoy when it is returned
My family, me sarcastic phuckers all of us....
Sarcasm? The mirror always reveals a reflection.
Hmmm.... I don't think i can handle sarcasm very well and I'm probably more sarcastic then most. It reminds me of tit for tat and how we tend to.snap back with an answer and not rethink what we're going to say.
