Sarcasm just doesn't seem to work

I must admit I do love reading the banal responses people make on such sarcastic discussions I tend to LLAMA. I am so glad I appreciate sarcasm as it is such a great release from all the mundane things in life we have to put up with. I have been a bit naughty and taught my kids sarcasm from an early age. Even my sons nursery teacher told me one day she loved my son because he understood it. I do it with the kids I work with and some get it and some just get confused!! I hope its not a dying art. So please keep them coming, you, jimbo and alfieklondyke are kings on mylot for some great discussions. By the way I have a new one as well PIMP-Piss In My Pants, as I can relate to this one quite often!!!

SCUM, LUMPS, GLAD Loved the abbreviations. In fact, had to read them out loud to everybody in the room. As to the sarcasm, since we have so many people on the site for whom English is not the native tongue, I think they just don't get the sarcasm. Others may just read the title and respond to that. I love your postings, especially the sarcasm and wit. If some people don't get it, that's their loss.

PISH. Although i feel a little weird being a grown man typing PISH. LOL okay i just had to add that. It's been my experience that people that don't understand sarcasm and irony in their everyday communications with "real" people, definitely are NOT going to understand it in the written word part of our days. But you have to admit, sometimes it's funny to see that deadly serious response to a discussion that you wrote with a twinkle in your eye.

Half the fun of reading your posted discussions IS the ever-so-humorous sarcasm. The other half is seeing the deathly serious responses! Why do anything? It is a riot and so entertaing. Often it is the brightest part of my day! (yeah, I lead a fairly dull life)As for your new acronyms, they have been recorded and will be of use in future posts!

You forget to add in more question ones like maybe GWM: Why me God, and RBP loosely translated as royal pain in the butt for statements. LLADM Laughing like a drunken monkey WUP Wow you're pretty. or add them like runic letters WUPBRBP Wow, you're a pretty big pain in the butt. think outside the box. Oh and good job on this post. GLAD

On other forums, I would put italics to great use in conveying sarcasm. As in "Oh, now [italics]that[/italics] was a useful response" Even non-English speakers usually could get the sarcasm then. But if there's a way to do that here, I haven't found it yet. PISH for a way to use italics!

That is hilarious, I hate the LOL thing, its like so yesterday(a little SARC for ya):0)...Ya gotta have sarcasm, life is so boring without it. How about PIMP, peein in my pants!!!!!! Someone probably already uses that, but how would I know, I'm too busy ROFLMAO to know the difference anyway!!!!
