Title: Crikey Post by: DMR on Sunday, June 12, 2005, 11:24:16 Sarcasm is the lowest form of with Benjamin
Title: Crikey Post by: oxford_fan on Sunday, June 12, 2005, 11:33:17 I'd argue it's the highest. Well, irony at least.

Title: Crikey Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Sunday, June 12, 2005, 12:18:53 :nono: Dave what I said was ironic not sarcastic.
and I think The actual quote was "Sarcasm is the highest form of wit. I don't think" or something similar but people have misunderstood the point. Sarcasm is a type of irony but irony is not a type of sarcasm. Title: Crikey Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, June 12, 2005, 12:30:20 Yup, sarcasm is irony used as a put down, whereas an ironic statement is one where the opposite is true.
An example of sarcasm may be: "Dave doesn't like gay porn" An example of irony may be: "Nobody likes money" |
