Dear Sarcastic People of the World:
I realized today the word chasm is like an unintended pun with the word sarcasm. When you employ sarcasm, it creates a humorous chasm in relationships; a separation that hurts.
Sure, it’s funny. But it’s nothing more than a dressed up sucker-punch to the face in a pretty pink dress. Like grandma always said, honesty is the best policy.
In the words of John Mayer, Say what you need to say. No one likes verbal bruises. Even if they do wear pretty, pink dresses.
Keep it real,
Bianca
ouch. but you are right. sometimes (maybe all of the time) sarcasm is employed just to dress up a jab.
I totally employ sarcasm! I think at times it's a great way of speaking the truth in a humorous way. However, I can also use sarcasm to hurt people.
It's powerful and deadly all at the same time.
It's like a double-edged sword. Or like a look from my mother when's ticked off with me 😉
Maybe it should be spelled "sarchasm".
Hahahahaha! Yes, it should.
Wait… are you being sarcastic? Er, I mean sarchastic?
Totally agree it's like your giving yourself the excuse to say what's really in your heart and justifying yourself for it. Why I know all to well I do it all the time!!! OUCHA!!!! thanks B…have a great weekend!
oooooh. but…but..but… i REALLY love the pretty pink dress that sarcasm is dressed up with.
My sarcasm has matching heels…
Mine accesorises with a superior spirit.
Oh man… totally convicted! I'm the queen of sarcasm… ;-/ I tend to dress her up in purple though… 😉
I knew you'd say purple. Just like the color on your website!!!
Well… totally called me out on this one. I'll to say goodbye to sarcasm and her pretty pink dress and just stick to honesty. 🙂 Thanks for the call out, definitely needed it! Have a blessed weekend, Bianca!
Very convicted! My son is very sarcastic but he learned it from the best! Momma 🙁
Thanks be to God that I am a work in progress and the Master Potter still has to shape me up… and when i refuse he strts all over again
Sounds like someone may have said something nasty to you…who do I need to go beat up? : )
I am so glad someone with influence has call this out. Working with young people I hear it a lot and it is not hard to tell the ones that are just trying to be funny from the intentional jabs. Sarcasm is just meanness dressed up in a smile that looks like the pretty pink dress. But the end result seems to often be the same. The intent to be funny goes to far and hurts rather than humor the receiver. Sarcasm is just meanness dressed up in a smile as well as the pink dress. But sometimes sarasm is the other persons hurt striking out at all people that still smile while they are in pain.
Back in the day people said things and followed it with "just, kidding, gosh can't you take a joke?" Thanks for the mental shake to remind us of the effect of the spoken word. Have a great weekend all.
I'll always cherish the original misconception I had of you…
Oh Mr. Saucy Pants,
I can still dish a good one! My issue is with people who use sarcasm as a poor mode of communication. I vote for maturity, fidelity, and prosperity in human relationships.

You have such a way with words. Love it.
I hate to play devil's advocate, but today's society seems to really appreciate the haute couture that is in sarcasm's wardrobe. Look at the comedic greats of today: George Lopez, Chris Rock, Dane Cook… how do you get a laugh without throwing a verbal punch at someone else?
Back to the book of James & this tongueof mine! I keep an oversized mug on my desk at work with pens in it. on it , it says " Lord keep your hand around my shoulder and your had over my mouth"! Can't tell you how many times a day i need to look at it. i'll close with a quote from Bob Coy: "In what i say and do – am i bearing fruit – or bruising fruit?"
Totally agree. I grew up in England…sarcasm central…and have you noticed how everybody here is miserable?
As the only Christian in my family, I sit down to dinner with them and hear nothing but negative, sarcastic comments, and watch my family tear each other down. No wonder self esteem is so rare in this place.
Ok…OK…I'll stop!
That's because, sadly, there is almost always at least a little truth behind sarcasm, at least a truth of how someone feels about the subject of their sarcasm. My best friend is a girl from Wyoming and the most adorable and encouraging person in the world, but one day she said something that sounded like sarcasm and totally wasn't but it made me snap at her because I instantly thought she was being offensive.
Its amazing how much it can affect your way of thinking and interpreting what people say.
And heck, its hard to get rid of too!!
PS Your Mother is adorable, I'd love to meet her some day when I visit California again!
My spouse and i have been quite cheerful that Louis could deal with his studies while using the ideas he grabbed from your very own web site. It is now and again perplexing to simply always be freely giving methods some others have been selling. And now we see we now have the blog owner to thank for that. The specific explanations you’ve made, the easy blog navigation, the relationships your site make it easier to foster – it’s everything great, and it is letting our son and the family understand the article is pleasurable, which is certainly truly vital. Thank you for everything!

The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
