- 1愛挖苦的(英式口語)
Sarky is informal British (and also Australian) English for sarcastic. If someone is being sarky, they are making sharp, mocking remarks — the kind that pretend to be polite but are not. You hear it in speech: “Don’t get sarky with me.” It is a bit cheeky as a word; people use it when they want a short, ordinary word instead of sarcastic. American English almost never uses it. It has nothing to do with the island Sark, even though the spelling looks close.
組成From sarc- (a short form of sarcasm) + -y, the everyday ending that makes an adjective, like messy from mess. So it means “full of sarcasm.”
