so the urban myth that Yanks don’t understand sarcasm is real.....

Identifying what is and what isn’t sarcasm (sarc) takes away the fun of using it. You boys take it all so personal!

I've seen people make some pretty dumb-ass remarks, only to later claim "sarcasm."

No, you were snubbing the Yanks, in a time-honored fashion.

It is considered proper etiquette (around this board, at least) to use “s” and “/s” to denote sarcasm.

If you’re going to attempt a bank shot, you need to yell “bank” first...otherwise, you’ll be jeered off the court. (A little basketball lingo there...)
