Today we will discuss the economic and religious importance of considering sarcasm. As a group, we'll explore how sarcasm is used, how to respond to it, and how to impress your colleagues with witty responses so that they stop avoiding you at company parties. "One who thinks logically contrasts clearly with the world."

Steps

1. 1 Stop, work. Immediately after using the "sarcasm" device, think for a few seconds why it was used: for a joke, an insult, or as a silly way for a history teacher to address his "super" students. These tips will help you determine:
   • Joke: Was the taunt thrown in the blink of an eye? Was she accompanied by a smile and a look seeking approval? If so, the purpose of the sarcasm was a joke.
   • Insult: Was the situation heated before the comment? Did the phrase contain an offensive meaning? Perhaps referring to your recent weight gain. It's not your fault, you have stocked up on fuel for the upcoming marathon. Let's hope. If any of this applies, you may have just been insulted.
   • Appeal to youth: Most of the time, sarcasm is used as a silly prim to grab your attention. It usually starts off in an awkward way with puns and puns. Typical phrases are: "Wow!", "No!", And the actual statement "Victory!"
2. 2 Think quickly. Regardless of the choice, the most important thing is to respond quickly. Any delay will be a sign of weakness, which shows the limitations of your sarcastic abilities. A quick response guarantees a friendly response. (Important: the faster your response, the less creative the response should be.)
3. 3 Decide how to respond. Whether you crush your opponent with a cocky response about her shoes, or just outsmart your friend with a funny quote. Here are some things to remember when responding to sarcasm:
4. 4 Rules:
   • Answer quickly.
   • Use your previous knowledge to defend yourself.
   • Take advantage of their weakness, especially their strange blinking of eyes.
5. 5 Never:
   • Cry (crying is useless except in a comedy with Meg Ryan).
   • Use generally accepted sarcastic responses (see Addressing youth).
   • Back off as soon as you've thrown your answer. Don't step back.
6. 6 Disarm them. Sarcasm will lose its taunts if you answer correctly. Try one of the following:
   • Correct them. Explain the facts clearly and calmly. This answer has the advantage that it can be applied in conjunction with the laughter from point 3. But be prepared that the person who gave up this sarcasm does not care about your explanations if he or she is not seeking justice.
   • Ignore this. They won't use sarcasm if they don't see the effect. Either pretend you didn't understand, or continue the conversation. But the price of your peace of mind is sleepless nights (one or more) that you regret or despise.
   • Agree. Be sarcastic about their sarcasm. But be careful, this can turn into a game of wit and the most sarcastic person will emerge victorious from it, often leaving misunderstandings behind.
7. 7 Know when to leave. A person who can only respond with sarcasm is probably not worth listening to. And your departure will leave him satisfied with his victory and your emotional devastation.

Tips

• If they insult you, pretend not to pay attention to their sarcasm and this will make them very angry.
• Sometimes sarcasm is confused with witty comments.
• Sarcasm is used in different ways in different cultures, age categories, men and women. Learn to use sarcasm appropriately in different places and respond accordingly.
• Sometimes the best answer is rolling your eyes and leaving.
• Do not be angry. Leave if necessary.

Warnings

• Don't ponder on a comment you ignored. Think about him if he has crossed the line of decency or may develop into a big problem.
