Sarcasm is saying something cutting or intended to hurt, often using irony to deliver the wound. Irony is a word used to say something other than what the words usually stand for, most often meaning the opposite of the literal meaning of the words. The tone of the voice and inflection are also often used to underscore the ironic/sarcastic part of the statement.
Examples in common speech:
A man comes to breakfast after a night of drinking, he looks hung over and is unshaven, wearing the wrinkled clothes he slept in, with hair disheveled, and his eyes are red and squinted from the sunlight.
His wife takes one look at him and says, "Well, now, don't you look just bright and shiny this morning?!"
TEEN 1: "Don't you just love brown?"
TEEN 2: "Yeah, it's like the prettiest color ever!"
^^^This is not sarcasm at all. This is exaggeration.^^^
Examples in literature: See any of Christopher Moore's works for examples of sarcasm in literature. Especially "Lamb: The Gospell of Christ's Childhood Pal, Biff"
Another extremely good example of sarcasm in literature is the character Silk in the wonderful series "The Belgariad" by David Eddings. I'm not sure if Silk is in "The Mallorean" but I know he's in the "Belgariad". Everything he says is sarcastic.
