Pseudo-Sarcasm

A statement, when made, that is meant to be interpreted as sarcasm, when actually, it is not.

After coming out of my bosses office with a raise instead of the ass-chewing that I expected, I announced, "Man, I LOVE my job"... Everyone thought I was being sarcastic, when in fact, I was using pseudo-sarcasm.

When one person attempts to be sarcastic but their sarcastic comment is actually true for the situation.

Therapist: You have depression, you need some pills for that.
Rachel: Fine, show me these "anti-depressants"! *sarcastically*
Therapist:they are called Anti-Depressants, so sarcasm, denied.
Rachel: Well, thats some Pseudo-Sarcasm...
