			Sarcasm is a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter gibe or taunt. Sarcasm may employ ambivalence, although sarcasm is not necessarily ironic. The distinctive quality of sarcasm is present in the spoken word and manifested chiefly by vocal inflection. The sarcastic content of a statement will be dependent upon the context in which it appears.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm Sarcasm]</ref>

			==Origin of the term==
			The word comes from the Greek σαρκασμός (sarkasmós) which is taken from σαρκάζειν (sarkázein) meaning to tear flesh, bite the lip in rage, sneer.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm Sarcasm]</ref>

==Ego Defense Mechanism==
As one learns how to refocus one’s thoughts, one prevents overwhelming states of emotion from triggering impulsive behaviors and angry reactions. As one develops strong impulse control they are learning a form of ego discipline through applied [[Spirit of Patience|patience]]. If we check in and find that we do not like what we may be feeling, we can learn better the reasons for that by further shifting into the [[Observer Point|observer mode]]. In our community, we call that process of observing as shifting from identifying with a thought or feeling by moving ourselves into the compassionate witness. As a [[Compassionate Witness]] we have no judgment of thoughts or feelings, we hold no judgment of what we are observing in the external, we only observe those thoughts and feelings in our self and others. When we can fully observe through our own [[Compassionate Witness]], we then become neutral and centered. Then, we can immediately find relief from our [[Mental Anxiety|inner anxiety]], fears and a host of other thought distortions. This process is key to shifting [[Ego Defense Mechanism]]s, thought addiction tendency and releasing the anxiety or fear of feeling emotional depth or pain. By continually using an ego defense mechanism to avoid facing the [[Physiology of Fear|source causation of the anxiety]] or deeply rooted fear, (which is unresolved pain or trauma) we are only perpetuating the mental looping which uses denial of the truth in order to avoid feeling pain or discomfort. <ref>[http://www.energeticsynthesis.com/index.php/resource-tools/blog-timeline-shift/2465-i-m-ok I'm ok]</ref>
