But Kirby, that’s the nature of ‘sarcasm!’
You choose all the “Wrong words” specifically in order to apply an inflection.
The “wrong words,” when properly understood, are what create the humor!
By explaining the nuances or by being stolidly direct the whole scenario will
appear dull and uninteresting. Thus, by sarcastically portraying certain events,
the general situation will appear far more interesting/comical.

misunderstand a situation, they have to -rain on the parade.- :(
