    You have no idea what sarcasm is, have you? If it's not too hard for you to understand, see http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm for the real definition.

    Umm, I meant it in a humourous way, there's lots of forms of sarcasm. 'Does this running out fit suit me' (Referring to lime green and bright orange). Sarcastic response: 'Whoa, yeah, it really brings out the colour in you abdominal muscles.'

    Huh! Defined the way I see it. :)
