Today's extraordinary word is FACETIOUS.
FACETIOUS adj. Not meant to be taken seriously or literally, amusing, lacking serious intent.
Try using this instead of sarcastic, especially if your intention was to make a joke.
The teacher liked to use Patricia O'Conner's book Woe is I to teach grammar because she found her students responded well to its fun, facetious tone.
This one's pronounced differently than you would probably expect. Try putting it into Google Translate to make sure you're saying it correctly.
