Are they kidding? Maybe. Or not.
By Helen Luc — Written on Apr 05, 2017
Some people have difficulty identifying sarcasm. They’re just not sure if the other person is serious or not!
And then some people speak sarcasm like it’s their native tongue.
Sarcasm is the subtle (and sometimes ambiguous) use of irony or humor to make a cutting remark or to mock something without actually saying what you mean.
Some people react to sarcastic remarks with eye-rolling, and then some people think sarcastic comments are hilarious.
Why exactly do people use sarcasm? Well, some people think the best way to make a statement is to say the exact opposite of what they actually mean.
Sarcasm can be snarky and mean, or it can be light and humorous. One thing that's always true, though, is when it comes to sarcasm, there definitely is a limit to how much you should use.

Everyone can get a laugh out of the occasional sarcastic remark, but not everyone appreciates sarcasm when it’s mean. If you want to see who uses the most sarcasm, then you can look to astrology.
