Stop being so sarcastic!

Do you know what sarcasm is?

Sarcastic is the adjective form of the noun sarcasm.

He's a very sarcastic guy.

Sarcasm is a kind of joke, often not very nice... ...even a bit mean where you want to hurt someone's feelings and make them feel bad.

The way people create a sarcastic sentence is by using INTONATION. When using sarcasm, the intonation tells you that the meaning of the sentence is the OPPOSITE of the words in the sentence.

For example:

You're so smart

This is a complement when using normal intonation but if you use sarcasm you get:

YOU're SOOOO smart.

So YOU and SO are stressed and SO becomes SOOOO.

Or you might hear a "Could you be..." sentence:

Could you be any smarter?

Meaning you are stupid.

Could you be any dumber?

Meaning, no you can't you are REALLY dumb.
