Definitely! Satirical comes from the word satire. Satire means to say or do something that you do not mean. It is typically used in a joking matter. Here is an example of satire being used. Ex: A: I stubbed my toe! B: Oh my gosh, are you okay? A: Freaking fantastic! Never felt better! In this example, person A hurt himself and is saying that he feels great even though he is not okay.
