Please, let's not weave that language thread also into this one. This "mock DD" thing of you is almost akin to trolling, which is a no-no here and everywhere else on the internet.
Discussions are fine, though. I'm not a mod, so you don't have to listen, but I felt this needed to be said. Okay, let's move on with my post.
Irony, sarcasm, cynicism and scepsis are almost always confused, even by advanced linguistics. The overlap between them is great, but none of them is fully contained in any of the others.
I'm pretty sure that Simeon's remark isn't even ironic, because it holds no contradiction. Facetious (append -ly and it's the only English word in which all vowels appear in their order in the alphabet) would indeed be a better word.
EDIT: I wrote "language thread", which was in fact a "what's your first D-Mod" thread. Go off-topic-ness! I think we've scared CastMan away...
