How to use sarcasm... correctly.

Sarcasm... Ah, the mysteries, the joys! The many things you can say, then say "I was being sarcastic."
This blog is to help you master the art of sarcasm, and realize when someone else is using it.

Top Phrases: 
1. "Lovely!" Basic definition: Lovable, delightful, beautiful, grand, swell.
2. "Wow!" Basic definition: Striking success, expressing pleasure and surprise.
3. "Really?" Basic definition: Real, in actuality, true, unquestionable.

Rules: 
I probably should have stated the rules first, but I didn't think about that till just now, and am to lazy to go back and fix it... :P and ya'll are smart, you can figure it out!
1. When using sarcasm, say exactly the opposite of what you mean. This is the most difficult part of sarcasm. But, it's also the most fun part!
2. When using sarcasm, only use it with people who know the rules of sarcasm. If you decide to use sarcasm places no-one knows what you're talking about, you will have to teach them the un-spoken rules of sarcasm.
3. When using sarcasm, be careful what you're saying out loud. Most sarcastic comments are meant to be kept inside, because they are not usually the nicest things to say.

Now that you have the Rules, and Phrases to use. You need to know when to use them. Obviously, you don't use sarcasm in tight, hefty, or important situations. PLEASE only use sarcasm when you are in a situation that you won't get in trouble for joking, teasing, or playing. 
Sarcasm is an amazing form of communication. One that I never use, as you can tell from my blog! But mastering this form of communication is a long tiresome path that only a few reach the end of total mastery. Please don't give up on this journey, the one you take when you read this blog and decide to do something about it! mastering this art is extremely difficult, and must be done with caution.
Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it helped you understand sarcasm better! :)
