"Now excuse me I'm gonna go and find a therapist to alleviate the great trauma of being misunderstood online by people I've never met. Please, no one offer your services, I'll need someone disinterested." Wow, that's quite a remark. Here's the etymology of sarcasm: Sarcasm (n) 1570s, sarcasmus, from Late Latin sarcasmus, from late Greek sarkasmos "a sneer, jest, taunt, mockery," from sarkazein "to speak bitterly, sneer," literally "to strip off the flesh," from sarx (genitive sarkos) "flesh," properly "piece of meat," from PIE root *twerk- "to cut" (source also of Avestan thwares "to cut" ). Current form of the English word is from 1610s. Modified by Cynthia at Sun, Aug 06, 2017, 06:24:42
