25 hilarious posts from Instagram that lead us to celebrate the art of sarcasm

Researchers have tried to study sarcasm every now and then. Even sarcasm-detecting devices have been invented by scientists and "The Simpsons." Some research reveals we need it to avoid direct and harsh criticism. They say it is a sort of true lie and the ability to detect the truth lies on detecting the sarcasm in a sentence. Other researchers argue that sarcasm does not intend to tone down the criticism.

It is derived from the Greek word "sarkazein," which means to tear flesh like dogs, as reported by the Smithsonian Magazine. It aims to express both expectation and disappointment at the same time. While the research on sarcasm is going on, one thing is for sure, it does its job. It delivers the truth to us without completely demolishing our sense of self, as honest criticism might do. For this reason, our culture appreciates sarcasm every now and then.
