Sarcasm.

Author's note: This was written from a phone so please don't panic if there is a mistake. Just breathe and you'll be okay. P.S. The chasm image is from final fantasy. It is not real and I did not make it.

Story: Does anyone ever wonder where the word sarcasm came from? Well neither have I! But here is the story that I, the narrator, will now tell.

Two young men traveled far and wide, looking for nothing in particular. One day, they were traveling through the canyons and chasms.

Man number one, we'll call him Jimm, (Yes Jimm.) Stared down and suggested something absolutely atrocious. "Wouldn't it be fun if we jumped?" And man number two, we'll call him Grayson, sarcastically replied in a very stretched and well... sarcastic tone "Oh what a brilliant idea! We should totally do that!"

So Jimm jumped. And as he jumped down, he had the look of betrayal on his face and Grayson could faintly hear "Why have you let me fall alone?"

Heart broken and being weighed down by the sadness of guilt, Grayson went home and called that chasm "Chasm Sar."

The next time Grayson used sarcasm, he said "I'm not being serious, it's what I call casmsar."

From that point on, people just began calling it different things until it finally settled on "sarcasm." And thus it has been called ever since.

And that is the story my dear children. "What is the moral?" you ask. Well...if all your friends jumped off a cliff, name the cliff and go get smarter friends. Good day.
