Sarcastic

Sarcastic refers to the use of irony, mockery, or contempt to convey a meaning opposite to the words actually spoken. It often involves a sharp, bitter, or cutting remark that is intended to wound or criticize. The tone is frequently derisive and can be used to express disapproval, humor, or even anger. While sometimes witty, sarcasm can be easily misinterpreted and can damage relationships if used insensitively or excessively. It's a form of verbal aggression that cloaks itself in apparent pleasantry.
