She/He doesn`t need to check anything. It is just full of neologism that we don`t know.

Please,anonymous, explain us the meaning of "scarcastic"

Hi,

Where did  "scarcastic" come from? I thought we were discussing "scacarstic". Wink [;)]

Original poster, I hope you catch the irony of having these sarcastic responses in your thread!

Sarcastic means intentionally saying something that isn't true. Sarcasm only works when you have a context for it or a situation. If somebody is trying to do a trick on a skateboard and falls down, someone could say sarcastically, "Nice trick!" Irony is different. Irony shows up when a situation turns out a different way than you thought. For example, a man who is attacking someone gets attacked by another person from behind. These aren't the best examples, but other kind people can help (hint hint.)
