| Oscar Wilde, the great Irish playwright, also known for his biting wit, declared that: Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.
Hostile, critical comments may be expressed in an ironic way. The use of irony introduces an element of humour which may make the criticism seem more polite and less aggressive but understanding the subtlety of this usage requires second-order interpretation of the speaker's intentions. This sophisticated understanding is LACKING in people with brain damage or dementia and that it's a fact. may be!! |

| Sarcasm is a very useful tool if used with intelligence, it can however be very cutting and spiteful. |

| This is a duel fuel BB, can run on expensive knowledge/help and run on a cheaper fuel called sarcasim. The latter seems to be most used?

| The full saying is :
Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit when used by a fool, but when used by a wise man is a very useful weapon. |
