Saying one thing when meaning the oppisite (usually for comic effect)
Person A (wearing an incredibly ugly hat): How do you like my hat?
Person B: Oh yeah, I think that hat is great. You know what, I think ill just go out and buy one for myself
Person B is being sarcastic, you can usually tell by inflection, sarcasm will produce words and phrases with empasis on the last few sylables.
