About: Sarcasm Blind   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

A common trait among characters who have No Social Skills due to an offbeat background, also The Spock, and those who are just that Comically Serious. These characters do not understand sarcasm. Although characters like this are also often Literal Minded, some aren't. Sarcasm is tricky for someone to understand, because while "That's great," sometimes does mean that something is great, other times it doesn't. Everything depends on tone and gestures. A Washington Post contest once named this the gap between a sarcastic speaker and the person who misses it as the "Sarchasm."
