Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Is that fair, or does that give sarcasm a bad rep?

Having given it some thought, we are here to say that the mocking and diminishing nature of sarcasm makes it problematic. It can be funny if someone directs it at themselves in a self deprecating way, but generally we think it's a defence mechanism and an expression of unmet needs.

Hmm, things have taken a slightly darker turn with this one!

And we all do it. Sarcasm is part of our human experience and a little bit goes a long way.

If you've got something you want us to be curious about, get in touch, we'd love to hear from you (genuinely, no sarcasm here) curiousbrainfarts@gmail.com
