Sarcasm

Sarcasm is a sharp, bitter, cutting expression or remark; a bitter gibe or taunt. Some are downright insulting, while some are rude, and at the same time, humorous. Sometimes, people are momentarily stunned by a sarcastic remark. They are not sure whether whoever said it was being funny, or whether they are being rude. They do not know whether to laugh, or to feel offended.

Sharpen your wit, and you will be able to get away with insulting people who take the piss out of you, without they even realizing it. Do it with a smile to confuse them further.

Have a look at the following 'examples' of sarcasm.
