sardonic
의미: Grimly mocking or cynical in a way that suggests contempt or scorn. Describes humour, remarks, or expressions that are darkly ironic rather than warmly funny.
Sardonic is darker and more bitter than 'sarcastic' or 'ironic.' A sardonic smile or laugh suggests that the person finds the situation grimly amusing but fundamentally contemptible. It is a word frequently applied to literary characters, political commentators, and comedians whose humour has a sharp, unsettling edge. The word collocates with 'smile,' 'grin,' 'laugh,' 'humour,' 'wit,' and 'observation,' and appears regularly in book reviews, film criticism, and character descriptions.
