Only the most effective way to irritate adults, or any authority figure for that matter. Sarcasm is the use of words or phrases that mean the opposite of the message that you are trying to convey.
Also useful for fighting against stupidity, e.g. "you think it's a good idea to go jump that guy but then say hey man it's just a prank". In this situation, sarcasm is the best possible response. You should say, "yeah, right", in the most painfully obvious way as to say that you are joking. This is because, due to sarcasm's rather contradictory and convoluted nature, you automatically get PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY. The way you use plausible deniability in this context is that if your friend were to get away with it, people might say that you encouraged him by saying "yeah". However, you can claim that you were being sarcastic. On the flipside, however, if your friend were to get stabbed, you would claim sarcasm as to debunk any responsibility for your friend's new injuries.
Also commonly used when in a bad mood, to convey that you are upset but unwilling to talk about it, typically accompanied by eye rolling.
Person 1: "so, how was school"
Person 2: "just GREAT!" With such dramatic eye rolling that they may as well be wheels
Person 1: "I don't like your sarcasm"
Person 2: "what, the sarcasm I got from you?"
"Look, if I wanted to kill myself I would climb to your ego and jump to your IQ"
"Ouch"
"Calm down it was sarcasm"
What people use to fuck with you without having you know it.
Or saying something dumb and have you believe it.

The arch-enemy of Captain Obvious, because unlike him, Captain Sarcasm just answers a stupid question with a rather crude or not sarcastic way. Or just simply states facts in a sarcastic way.
Stupid guy: "If I get bitten by a venomous spider, will I die?"
Captain Sarcasm: "No, you'll become Spider-Man."
Stupid guy: "How will my post card be delivered to my mom "by sea"?"
Cap. Sarcasm: "Swimming, obviously".
Stupid guy: "Do you need to use the bathroom?"
Cap. Sarcasm: *holding his crotch* "No, I need to go to the library and read a book".
The act of striking the balance between coming across as sarcastic and coming across as sincere, so it is unclear as to whether you are being sarcastic. Not to be confused with post-sarcasm (meta-irony is to post-irony as meta-sarcasm is to post-sarcasm) which is being sincere in message while coming across as sarcastic in form.
Michelle and I got in an argument yesterday, but I think we've resolved it - she seems calm about it. I asked if she wanted to hang out, and she replied, "Sure, I would love to hang out today😉". I think she might be playing Schroedinger's feeling concealment. I hate meta-sarcasm.
