Much of it is understood by the tone of voice, and not spefically the meaning of the words. This can be problematic for visitors from a foreign country or ESL students. While I use sarcasm frequently, I don't know if it the most effective means of communication. The problem with relying on sarcasm is that it is culture specific.

It's just how you use it that matters. If you find yourself dying alone and change your mind about it, give me a call and I'll come keep you company while you die, wherever you are.
