My three words
Cynical - adj.
- Believing or showing the belief that people are motivated chiefly by base or selfish concerns; skeptical of the motives of others: a cynical dismissal of the politician's promise to reform the campaign finance system.
- Selfishly or callously calculating: showed a cynical disregard for the safety of his troops in his efforts to advance his reputation.
- Negative or pessimistic, as from world-weariness: a cynical view of the average voter's intelligence.
- Expressing jaded or scornful skepticism or negativity: cynical laughter.
- Expressing or marked by sarcasm.
- Given to using sarcasm.
- A form of irony in which apparent praise conceals another, scornful meaning.
1. Scornfully or cynically mocking
2. Marked by or displaying contemptuous mockery of the motives or virtues of others
Other words that work well for me:
Facetious - adj
1. Playfully jocular; humorous
Irreverent - adj
- Lacking or exhibiting a lack of reverence; disrespectful.
- Critical of what is generally accepted or respected; satirical:
That's not to say these are the only words that work for me, there are lots of positive ones too, but, for the purposes of just about everything I'll post here, these'll do.
Try to take it all with a grain of salt. I'm just throwin shit out here. That way I can be less so in real life situations when it might be a lot more detrimental to say things, like, say, women don't belong in the workplace, which I clearly don't mean, but I don't want to spend the next hour explaining to whoever was offended.
