Subject: RE: We USA should 'Bomb ' Iceland ??
I looked up all of the following for my own interest really because to be quite honest I wasn't sure of the difference. I thought I might as well post them.

Irony - expression of meaning by use of words normally conveying opposite meaning.

Satire - use of ridicule or irony etc. to expose folly or vice etc.

Sarcasm - bitter or wounding remark(s) esp. ironically worded.
