It's neither... you really are a dipshit.The Dork Lord said:*sighs* what you just said right there: that's sarcastic, but not ironic.
Pickle, do you have a reply to the above? Do you now understand the relationship between irony and sarcasm, or do I need to pwn you more?Alexandre Buche said:LOL @ Pickle trying to think. Tell me, what is "sarcastic language" if not language employed ironically?
You need to use a better dictionary than dictionary dot com.
Sarcasm. A form of verbal irony, expressing sneering, personal disapproval in the guise of praise. (Oddly enough, sarcastic remarks are often used between friends, perhaps as a somewhat perverse demonstration of the strength of the bond--only a good friend could say this without hurting the other's feelings, or at least without excessively damaging the relationship, since feelings are often hurt in spite of a close relationship. If you drop your lunch tray and a stranger says, "Well, that was really intelligent," that's sarcasm. If your girlfriend or boyfriend says it, that's love--I think.)

Irony is not always sarcastic.

That's neither sarcasm nor irony. It's a weak insult missing an indefinite article.The Dork Lord said:Sarcasm without irony: Alex, you're crack smoking caveman.
The fact that you think you were being witty is slightly ironic.The Dork Lord said:I was witty, I was mean spirited. But i was not saying something and meaning the opposite.
This is a sarcastic statement. Sarcasm is a verbal irony, as I posted above. You posted a positive statement, but, ironically, you meant the opposite of what you wrote. This irony was signaled by the sarcastic tone of the "Gee."The Dork Lord said:Irony without sarcasm: Gee, I can't wait to go to work and clean up after high school kids!
You're wrong about that. You've also shown yourself to have no idea what sarcasm and irony are. Like I said, you're out of your depth. It's not even fair, really.The Dork Lord said:I think you're married to the popular, as opposed to actual meaning of the word.
NO. Sarcasm: A form of verbal irony, expressing sneering, personal disapproval in the guise of praise.The Dork Lord said:often but not always ironical...chowderhead
