Och . . . that’s just bloody awful!
Do you accept everything people say literally? Or do you use your creative problem solving skills to look for clues to sarcasm’s subtle deception?
Sarcastic statements are sort of a true lie. You’re saying something you don’t literally mean, and the communication works as intended only if your listener gets that you’re insincere.
Sarcasm has a two-faced quality: it’s both funny and mean. This dual nature has led to contradictory theories on why we use it.
From The Science of Sarcasm? Yeah, Right!
