It is one of the funniest expressions:
In an ironic manner, not meant to be taken seriously
or
to be taken with a pinch of salt. (Sotfened Ridicule).
Origin: It was derived from the facial expression , with tongue in one’s cheek & the wink, in an attempt to suppress the laughter.

Sarcasm is sneering, jesting, or mocking a person, a situation or thing. It is often used in a humorous manner and sometimes expressed through particular vocal intonations. Sarcasm is often expressed in ironical statements. It can sometimes be the sincerest form of discourse for the emotionally fragile. This is often done by simply over-emphasizing the actual statement, or particular words of it.
