Mmmm, pizza. 
Though it's the only one dictionary.com gives. Okay, it has three:

sar·cas·tic
adj.
1) Expressing or marked by sarcasm.
2) Given to using sarcasm.

Though these two don't say much. Finally there's the one Simeon gave.

A look at sarcasm:

1) A cutting, often ironic remark intended to wound.
2) A form of wit that is marked by the use of sarcastic language and is intended to make its victim the butt of contempt or ridicule.
3) The use of sarcasm.

Definition 3 still doesn't tell us much, but is for context purposes, nr 2 tells us that it has to do with "sarcastic language", for which I'll redirect you to "sarcastic".

So yeah, it's pretty much the definition for sarcasm/sarcastic.
