@bluefminor Example. Someone stumbles and spills coffee on themselves. You could say, in a joking/sarcastic tone. "That was smooth." Their stumbling action were not smooth at all.

@bluefminor One trick that helps with idioms, but is not always true. Is many are meant to be sarcastic. So when you see a new one, consider what the opposite of the meaning is.
