    well sometimes if you don’t know the person that well or if it’s a loaded issue they’re talking about, you just have to come out and say “I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic”

      … He was implying that you may very likely have no idea that you’re missing implicit statements and sarcasm, because you’re, well, missing it.

      The main meaning is still there and most of the time, nothing happens if you miss the implicit or sarcastic meaning, so it’s very likely you’ll never notice you missed it.

      It’s kind of funny that I have to explain this because this is a perfect example of you missing the implicit meaning, right within a discussion of the topic.
