"its known in England as sarcasm"

It's known everywhere as "superiority syndrome"

FYI Sarcasm: Noun, The use of irony to mock or convey contempt.

That's from an ENGLISH dictionary.

I did not say the post was sarcasm, I was explaining to the poster who DID call it sarcasm just exactly what sarcasm is, from an English dictionary.
I called it superiority syndrome which is exactly what it is. Not always justified though.

I know what taking the mick is too, been on both ends of it many times.
Being Irish I appreciate the capital M you used.
