Sarcasm the lowest form of wit demands the highest functions of the brain?
Q. My business teacher (full of righteousness, Christian preaching and positive thinking), hates sarcasm as she thinks it's the lowest form of wit. However, sarcasm is only known as the lowest form of wit simply because it's aimed to hurt people. Sarcasm demands the highest function of the brain. Agree? Disagree?

A. Sarcasm is not the lowest form of wit. The people that say it is are the ones who can't pick up on it so the yell at people who use it so they don't fell like idiots.

What is the difference between irony, sarcasm, and being sardonic?
Q. I know what sarcasm is, but the other two, I'm not so sure. Even though there are differences, are the three worlds very similar ways to describe one's personality? Can you guys please give some examples of each? Thanks.

A. Irony has to do with unexpected outcomes - often with tragic or humorous overtones. It is situations, not people, that are ironic. Sarcasm has the essence of being dismissive of other people and having an assumed sense of being a wit. Sardonicism directs its aim at the world and the fates in general. It has an element of "gallows humor." People can be classified as sarcastic, and it is suggestive of a beligerent personality. People can also be classified as sardonic, and that is suggestive of a pessisimistic but human philosophy. Jewish humor, which I adore, can largely be classified as sardonic.

Is there a way to become impervious to sarcasm?
Q. It seems to me that sarcasm is a tool that can cut a person psychologically and even be used to manipulate them! The recipient is often bothered with "what does that mean" or how to react to it. Why is that? Is there a way to go through life being just flat-out impervious to other people's sarcasm? Yeah, you can try to pretend on the outside that it doesn't bother you, but that doesn't change the reality of the psychological aspect of it. It can really get to you, even if you pretend it doesn't!

What exactly is so bad about sarcasm?
Q. I've heard that it's really bad for your relationships and view of the world and it screws up everything, but why? This is not sarcastic by the way, I am seriously wondering how sarcasm affects people and if I should try to stop being sarcastic. See, a lot of you said it's horrible and attracts unhealthy people and whatnot, but what I'm interested in is WHY it does those things. Also, how to stop sarcasm? I always just say stuff (people set me up for it so nicely!) then afterwards I'm like "I'm sorry, that was really mean, I didn't really mean it" and stuff...

A. Sarcasm is an indirect and one-direction form of communication. Instead of creating a dialogue and connection, it puts up a barrier to them. For example, if I say "oh yes you are so smart" in a sarcastic way to some fact you quoted to me, I am doing a number of things - shutting down dialogue over the subject we were discussing, telling you I question your smartness, and preventing you from refuting my question about your smartness. Because I just said you are smart, you can't respond by saying, "but I am smart," the sarcastic response is, "I know I just said so didn't I!" Therefore it is very difficult to respond to a sarcastic comment or even a question because of the subterfuge and hostility it often embodies. It is a way of… [cont.]

The term Irony has been largely abandoned from speech by most folk, and left to lie fallow in situational and dramatic waters. The difference between irony and sarcasm is very simple. Simply, sarcasm is a subdivision of irony. Sarcasm is "irony" used with the intent to wound the person to whom the remark is addressed. Examples: 1.
