When Buffy *eschews*, I find it best to simply say gesundheit, and offer her a tissue. Admittedly not dazzling, but it helps prevent the spread of dis-ease.

For sarcasm that's explicit, I usually use or if its really raw, I use

Most of the time though, I don't indicate when I'm being sarcastic because I don't want to tip off deservedly clueless targets...

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
