For this list, we’re featuring posts from a Facebook group called Relatable Memes Served With a Side of Cyanide. If the name doesn’t give you a clue, it features images that convey some cynicism through visual humor. Most of these are slightly snarky in tone to perfectly capture life’s daily stressors, passive-aggressive anger, and the discomfort of embarrassment, to name a few. And as always, we’ve compiled the best ones for your enjoyment. In an article, Smith pointed out that people who use sarcasm may not be able to confront their real emotions. Therefore, they resort to a “cloak-and-dagger” approach to communication. He also pointed out other potential issues like pessimism and low self-esteem, which may explain why they react negatively towards people who aren’t fans of sarcastic behavior. For a sarcastic comment to work, the person must understand the contradictions between literal and actual meanings. This requires some critical and creative thinking. “A big or steady serving of sarcasm will overwhelm the emotional flavor of any conversation and can taste very bitter to its recipient,” he wrote. While sarcasm is meant to sting, witty remarks are more about magnifying an issue’s absurdities. The humor involved is usually harmless, not creating any tension. Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
