Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.45,0:00:19.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Awesome job!
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.33,0:00:22.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You're a tremendous athlete!

Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.01,0:00:27.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, maybe.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.77,0:00:28.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Depending on the attitude
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.94,0:00:31.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and tone of voice behind these lines,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.02,0:00:33.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they very well may be compliments.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.65,0:00:35.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They may also be, though,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.26,0:00:37.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,pointed and attacking lines.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.82,0:00:40.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This slight change of attitude behind the lines
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.91,0:00:44.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,reveals what we call verbal irony.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.100,0:00:48.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So when someone says, "Great weather we're having,"
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.57,0:00:52.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it is quite possible that the person really means that
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.13,0:00:53.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if the sun is shining,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.26,0:00:54.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the birds are singing,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.62,0:00:56.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the wind is calm.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.61,0:00:58.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But if the weather is horrible,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.04,0:00:59.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the clouds are looming,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.07,0:01:01.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the wind is a raging tempest,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.18,0:01:05.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and someone says, "Great weather we're having,"
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.38,0:01:07.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he probably doesn't actually mean that.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.72,0:01:10.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He probably means that the weather is horrible,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.53,0:01:12.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but he has said the opposite.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.72,0:01:15.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is verbal irony
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.04,0:01:18.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when the speaker says the opposite of what he means.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.10,0:01:18.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I know what you're thinking.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.81,0:01:20.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Isn't this sarcasm,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.06,0:01:22.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,isn't the speaker being sarcastic?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.32,0:01:23.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yes.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.44,0:01:25.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When a speaker says the opposite of what he means,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.84,0:01:28.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that is verbal irony.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.03,0:01:30.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When a speaker then goes the step farther
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.41,0:01:32.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to mean the opposite of what he says
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.09,0:01:35.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and seeks to be a little pointed and mean,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.29,0:01:37.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like he's making fun of something,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.14,0:01:38.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then you have sarcasm.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.80,0:01:40.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Take the second example:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.46,0:01:41.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Awesome job!"
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.55,0:01:43.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Someone accomplishing his life-long dream:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.95,0:01:44.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,awesome!
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.75,0:01:46.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Someone winning a sports championship:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.81,0:01:47.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,awesome!
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.67,0:01:50.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Someone rear-ends another car:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.05,0:01:52.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not awesome.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.72,0:01:56.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So when the passenger says, "Awesome job!"
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.44,0:01:57.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they probably mean the opposite
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.97,0:02:00.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with a hint of poking fun.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.19,0:02:03.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That is verbal irony and that is sarcastic.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.66,0:02:06.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"You're a talented athlete," said to an Olympian:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.45,0:02:09.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,authentic, no verbal irony present.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.33,0:02:11.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Said to the klutzy kid tripping into English class
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.62,0:02:14.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and spilling his books and pencil case all over the room,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.42,0:02:18.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,now that is just harsh and verbally ironic
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.14,0:02:21.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because what you said is not what you meant.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.42,0:02:23.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That is verbal irony.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.55,0:02:25.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You have said the opposite of what you mean.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.44,0:02:27.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Additionally, since you have the intention
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.32,0:02:29.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of mocking this poor person,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.30,0:02:31.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you have not only been verbally ironic,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.85,0:02:34.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but sarcastic as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.14,0:02:35.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Beware, though.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.35,0:02:38.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,While all sarcasm fits the definition of verbal irony,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.52,0:02:42.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not all verbal irony is sarcastic.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.07,0:02:44.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Verbal irony is where what is meant
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.36,0:02:46.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the opposite of what is said,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.84,0:02:50.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,while sarcasm adds that little punch of attitude.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.28,0:02:51.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are times, though,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.26,0:02:53.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where another layer of meaning can be present
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.85,0:02:56.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,without that sarcastic tone.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.88,0:02:58.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Alright, now go out there
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.58,0:03:02.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and find those examples of verbal irony and sarcasm.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.59,0:03:04.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Good luck!
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.38,0:03:06.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,No, seriously, I mean it, good luck.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.93,0:03:07.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,No, no, really,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.97,0:03:11.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I truly want to wish you luck on this difficult task.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.13,0:03:13.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ok, ok, sincerely good luck.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.96,0:03:14.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can do it!
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.84,0:03:17.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,No verbal irony here.
