Sarcasm

Sarcasm is when you say something that is the opposite of what you really mean. For example, if someone does something really bad, you might say "Good job!" in a sarcastic tone, but you really mean "That was a terrible thing to do!" You can usually tell someone is being sarcastic when they say something but say it in a teasing way or in a voice that doesn't sound serious.
