Title: Expressions that ended up being used sarcastically more often than not
Post by: Martinus on April 04, 2010, 04:07:04 AM
"Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy" is an expression which (I presume) was originally used in a non-sarcastic manner, but I think these days it is pretty much only used sarcastically.

What are other expressions like that, that have become such sarcastic cliches, noone would use it anymore in their original meaning, lest they are also accused of being sarcastic.

About half of what is spoken by members of Languish's population, with Garbon being at 100% sarcastic and Tim being at 0% on the meter.
