Slide4Verbal irony
is when the speaker says the opposite of what they mean.For example:
You put quarters into a vending machine and nothing comes out so you exclaim, “Hey, today’s my lucky day.”Of course, nothing was great or lucky about what happened, so you were using irony – or the opposite of what you really meant.
Slide5Sarcasm
is a type of irony that makes fun of somebody.
For example:
A student named Mike takes a moment to close his eyes at his desk and the teacher says, “Now don’t work too hard there, Mike.”

With a trusted friend, a sarcastic comment can be witty and not taken as mean, but when sarcasm is used as a verbal weapon, watch out…those words can hurt!
