          The word facetious is used exclusively by arts students to describe someone being sarcastic.

          Its generally said with a smug voice to make the person feel insignificant.

              Unique as the only word in the English language to sound like a variation of its slang definition. In other words: It sounds like it may actually mean full of feces although it does not...but it does mean full of shit.
