Satire/Parody

From what I've learnt, Satire/Parody; the use of wit, especially irony, sarcasm and ridicule to criticize a particular subject as depicted in the literally word, play or film. it means that, satire included everything and being express in various ways.

Irony

Example of Irony

Especially, when this differences seems absurd or laughable. it means that, irony is something that we are try to do and what we really gonna do.

Dysphemistic; replacing a neutral or positive expression with a negative unpleasant one. it is the opposite of Euphemistic. Change a particular harsh word to a very irritating one. For example you change the "black people" to "negro" or "prostitute" to "whore" or "bitch".
