  • Irony mark
rdfs:comment
  • “The ironing is delicious.” ~ Bart Simpson on the irony mark The irony mark, sometimes called a snark, a zing, a mong, a bort, or a snuh, was invented by the rubbish poet Alcanter de Brahm in a desperate bid for publicity. It is used to indicate irony or sarcasm in a sentence, for the benefit of Americans, who lack the enzymes that generate a sense of humour. Since Brahm was French, it is likely that he was himself being ironic in suggesting the irony mark, in order to laugh snootily at Americans.
