Sarcasm is better than irony. (yet americans understand neither)
bassos
Sarcasm is complementing someone for their mistakes.
Irony is hinting at that someone will make a specifi mistake.
Irony meeting irony raises the perspective.
What could sarcasm meeting sarcasm do ?
Respond in kind and see ?

Erm. From what dictionary did you derive these definitions?
Or did you channel them.

Maybe. Instances of telempathy, both. Like, when you lived with
somebody for a prolongued time, and you both react saying the
same words after the same, not neccessarily repetitive, triggers.

I feel your thoughts :)
Brings us right back to awareness versus conscioussness.
Like when sleeping, the body is aware, but you are not conscious of it.
Unless something happens that makes you aware of it.
So something is aware, namely your body.
But you are not conscious of it, cos dreaming.
But still, that body of ours can simply interupt our conscious dreaming if
it feels strongly enough about it.

I prefer my conversation partners to complement instead of just finish.
So if anything, close friends of mine do not finish my sentences.
If they interupt me, it is with the modification/objection/insult to my
sentence.
Hence sarcasm is better than irony.

Does it? Not me, not now. But I compliment you on your attempts
at refining your vocabulary.
