Well, not quite.

Could someone enlighten me as to the most appropriate word to use instead of my recently constructed: Sarcasmist – a practitioner of sarcasm.

I don’t like the word, but I need an appropriate expression.

Satirist?

Yeah, Nah.

Satire, while similar, is not sarcasm.

does sound kinda pornographic…..

Satirist? Or do you want silly? Sarconaut? Sarcowit? Rediculist? Scornopticon?

I’d go with Scornopticon.

Scornopticon is getting closer.

ie. Expresses scorn through ridicule and derision.

I’d like a real word rather than a Hopey.

You could simply use ‘sarcast’, as in ‘one who is sarcastic’.

Then again, ‘monks’ are ‘monastic’, so maybe sarcastic people are just ‘sarks’.

ooooooh! look who can break it down academically!

Thanks CS.

I knew there’d be one, I’m leaning towards sarcast though, it rolls of the tongue a lot easier.

I thought I just referred to the fact that I don’t do troll, don’t like troll, busted up their school’s, farms and functionites and moved on with that little emotional issue?

I don’t read every last post.

But if it’s out of your system, welcome back to reality.

Do I detect the presence of a Sarcast or a Scornopticon?

I call shenanigans though……..

I agree. My favourite so far is still Scornopticon

lol (worlds shortest de-brief)

something I saw said sarcasm is just strong satire, so perhaps satirist is right. But it doesn’t feel right.

Satire to me has a sense of being ridiculous about it and can be theatrical, sarcasm is more directed and mocking therefore cruel.

These days I use the word “Daria” for a practitioner of sarcasm, after the TV cartoon of the same name. As in, for example, “don’t be a Daria”.

In slang it’s nouned ‘sarcast’.

sarcasmonaut

Conan the sarcastrian

I would just say “habitually sarcastic person” or “sarcastic type”.

And yet, the only form of wit with its own name.

In order to learn how sarcasm can improve your life, I recommend Mad Magazine’s “Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions”.

In order to understand the value of sarcasm as a protection against the horrific stupidity of other people, I recommend the cartoon series Daria. The Daria series also shows the limitations of sarcasm – it’s not a cure for depression and it has no language for true love. Mad Magazine shows that it produces some great pick-up lines though.

Sardonic.

Or as known in the cheap stands, a right royal prick.
