Answer 1

Its when you say something really seriously in all honesty.

Answer 2

sarcasm is a type of verbal irony.
Irony takes many forms. In irony of situation, the result of an action is the reverse of what the actor expected. Macbeth murders his king hoping that in becoming king he will achieve great happiness. Actually, Macbeth never knows another moment of peace, and finally is beheaded for his murderous act. In dramatic irony, the audience knows something that the characters in the drama do not. For example, the identity of the murderer in a crime thriller may be known to the audience long before the mystery is solved. In verbal irony, the contrast is between the literal meaning of what is said and what is meant. A character may refer to a plan as "brilliant," while actually meaning that (s)he thinks the plan is foolish. Sarcasm is a form of verbal irony.

Humor is something funny and entertaining.

good luck

Answer 3

Oh, let's see. Say you and your girlfriend jump off Lover's Leap together, and as you plummet towards the earth, she looks at you and asks "But do you really love me?"

You reply, "Love, schmove, tomorrow I'm doing this with another girl."

That's sarcasm.


Oh, another example. You're in the bargain basement, getting on a crowded elevator, with a big sign in front of the elevator that says "UP" and somebody comes running into the elevator and asks everybody "Going up?"

You reply, "No, we're going to fool everybody and go sideways this time."

That's yer sarcasm.
