sarcasm is when you say something and you really mean the opposite.

ex:

good luck.

Rude. I love sarcasm. I especially like to use it on my cousin, because he never gets what I say. He always thinks that I'm being serious. Hahaha.

You mean to say, you do not know the meaning of Sarcasm. You must have been asleep during class when they discussed it.
