What is an example of a sardonic comment?
1 Answer
Sardonic: grimly mocking or cynical.
Explanation:
I have a few examples, that I found on this site.
-
I did not attend the funeral, but I sent a letter saying I approved of it. (Mark Twain)
-
“I always wanted to marry in the spring, just as the petunias bloom.”
“Just when the what?”
“Oh, dear. Is she hard of hearing?”
“No, no, no! I can hear you. I just wanted to make sure you could hear you.”
(Phoebe and Colleen, 30 Rock) -
“But all the lads have asked for the name of my tailor.”
“Doubtless with the aim of avoiding him, sir.”
(Jeeves) -
There’s a saying that all roads lead to Ankh-Morpork. And it’s wrong. All roads lead away from Ankh-Morpork, but sometimes people walk along them the wrong way. (Terry Pratchett , Discworld)
The first example is a Mark Twain quote, the second example is from a show called "30 Rock", and the 3rd and 4th examples are from pieces of literature..
I hope this helps (:
