Sarcasm is the last refuge of the imaginatively bankrupt.
“I wanted Tate—panting and helpless—as I buried myself inside of her. No jokes, no sarcasm, no words. Just me in her eyes.”
“What are we doing today?” Grayson asked his brother.
“We?” Jameson shot back.
Grayson meticulously cuffed his sleeves. He’d changed after his
workout, donning a stiff collared shirt like armor. “Can’t an older brother
spend time with his younger brother and an interloper of dubious intentions
without getting the third degree?”
“He doesn’t trust me with you,” I translated.
“I’m such a delicate flower.” Jameson’s tone was light, but his eyes told
a different story. “In need of protection and constant supervision.”
Grayson was undaunted by sarcasm. “So it would seem.”

Kızımız Debbie tam bir sarcasm kraliçesi :D
“Gerçekten minnettar olmalısınız,” dedi öğrenci. “Onunla görüşme imkânını elde edebildiğiniz için çok şanslısınız.”
“Dünyadaki bütün delilerce tanınan ve sevilen,” dedi Deborah.
The monkey is an organized sarcasm upon the human race.
“Crush” is too weak a word to describe how I feel. It doesn’t do you justice, but maybe it
works for me. I am the one who is crushed. I’m crushed that we have only ever regarded each
other as enemies. I’m crushed when the day ends and I haven’t said anything to you that isn’t
cloaked in five layers of sarcasm. I’m crushed, concluding this year without having known
that you like melancholy music or eat cream cheese straight from the tub in the middle of
the night or play with your bangs when you’re nervous, as though you’re worried they look
bad. (They never do.)
sarcasm :p
You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends.

“Sarcasm is the last refuge of the imaginatively bankrupt,” she told him.
“I can’t help it. I use my rapier wit to hide my inner pain.”
The fight response is the limbic brain’s final tactic for survival through aggression. When a person confronting danger cannot avoid detection by freezing and cannot save himself by distancing or escaping (flight), the only alternative left is to fight. In our evolution as a species, we—along with other mammals—developed the strategy of turning fear into rage in order to fight off attackers (Panksepp, 1998, 208). In the modern world, however, acting on our rage may not be practical or even legal, so the limbic brain has developed other strategies beyond the more primitive physical fight response.
One form of modern aggression is an argument. Although the original meaning of the term argument relates simply to a debate or discussion, the word is increasingly used to describe a verbal altercation. An overheated argument is essentially “fighting” by nonphysical means. The use of insults, ad hominem phrases, counterallegations, denigration of professional stature, goading, and sarcasm are all, in their own ways, the modern equivalents of fighting, because they are all forms of aggression. If you think about it, civil lawsuits can even be construed as a modern and socially sanctioned type of fight or aggression in which litigants aggressively argue two opposing viewpoints.
“There he goes with that sarcasm again. He’s a fucking pro.”
