How would you explain sarcasm to a non-native English speaker?
As my personal sense of humor has been deemed dry and sarcastic, lately I've been wondering how I would explain this to a non-native English speaker or someone from a drastically different culture (without giving offense!). Any suggestions?

You're in good company, @Janilton! Nobody here is perfect, either! =)

Oh, I don't think so. I heard some wonderful sarcasm in French and Italian at the EU ... other languages are available, but sadly I largely don't understand them :(

@Colin, oh, but why would these two words — irony and sarcasm — borrowed from Ancient Greek denote something relegated mainly to English-speaking countries like America and the UK? :)

Though yours is an interesting question. I'm not aware of cultures having absolutely no notion of irony, but if you have come across any, please let me know, I'm genuinely interested.

Into sarcasms, it can be a smiles or laugh, we used the word (lol)  torward expression it... A homor state... Maybe. This is my viewpoint, I can be wrong, I am just a student, like people here... And I am not perfect.

I think it depends on language that you speak at the moment, and place and particularly an object of your irony or sarcasm.There are many common features in absolutely different cultures
