Not wanting to deflect from the stimulating discussions going on in the Brexit thread, I thought I'd start a new one.

How does one write in a sarcastic tone?

I think it was QI (so it must be true), you use a sarcastrophe.

SARCASM

I hand it over to Brian "Damage" Balovsky in the Young Ones

Are you being sar-carstic or something, my son? That's one of my least favorite things, that happens to be. Sar-carsm. I was walking a dog, and this bloke, he comes to me and says, "Nice day, innit?" But it wasn't. It wasn't a nice day. It was a little bit cloudy. Which makes him very sar-carstic. So acting as if nothing would happen, I took his head, right, put it in me mouth, right, acting dead casual-like, clamped me teeth, and BIT HIS HEAD OFF!! Cause I hate people being sar-carstic.
