Sarcasm is a form of verbal irony where someone says the opposite of what they actually mean, often in a mocking or contemptuous tone. It is often used to convey disdain, amusement, or criticism. For example, if someone fails a test and a friend says, "Nice job!", that statement is sarcastic because the friend doesn't mean that the job was actually nice.
