Sarcasm

I don't mean to generalise, but I found that most Americans tend not to catch sarcasm online. I guess we Brits have it down to a T though.

Very simple, just put :sweatdrop on the end.

I used to think sarcasm was awesome cool when I was about twelve, but it's not very clever. It's extremely irritating when people do nothing except for sarcasm for extended periods of time. If a more humourous and intelligent piss taking mechanism can be employed, then it should.

I really wanted to believe the best of Bunnies x) I knew it was most likely that she was a troll, but just in case she was a sensitive n00blet that may one day have grown into a valuable member, I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt.

I can appreciate this sentiment for the most part.
However, I don't think I can tell when I'm being sarcastic anymore.

I am so bad at noticing sarcasm. Oh myyy god xD

Thanks a lot, man! I really appreciate your opinion.




IRL, people cant tell I'm being sarcastic half the time. Which makes me sound stupid. :(

Not good at detecting sarcasm =[

I'm pretty slow at picking up on sarcasm, but I get it when it's important. I think. :-\

I prefer slap-stick.

I need sarcasm to survive. My sarcasm seems to be oriented on hyperbole rather than simply stressing a word in a sentence. ("Yeah, THAT'll work." :rolleyes2")

Sarcasm is so ridiculously hard to convey on the internets.

Pretty easily I think.. or at least I hope! :shifty:

It can be somewhat hard to detect sometimes, but most of the times it's pretty obvious.

It's funny, and I like it. :)
