I didn't see a sarcasm tag, did I miss it?

Definition of sarchasm :.
(sär'kãz'əm)

1. (n.) The abyss between the creator of witticisms and the intended recipient who does not find the humor in it, or is jut plain dumb.

Origins: The combination of sarcasm and chasm. While originally coined as a "sniglet" by comedian, Rich Hall, this term has become so widely used in American language almost as to be common place here in the States.

Example: Either you find this definition funny, or there is a sarchasm between us.

You certainly didn't find that in a dictionary.

You didn't even spell it right, dimbulb.
