Verbal irony is when what is said is the opposite of the literal meaning. One type of verbal irony is sarcasm, where the speaker says the opposite of what he or she means in order to show contempt or mock. Other types of verbal irony include overstatement (or exaggeration) and understatement.
Thanks for A2A. There are two excellent, well-informed answers here, so I'll just try to simplify. Dr. Falconer is of course correct; pre-weaning age (about 9 weeks or younger) kittens can drink cow's milk, or any milk. Neonates are not lactose intolerant; this develops gradually with age.
Cows milk can make a kitten sick, but it usually only does when the milk for some reason has spoiled or if the kitten is allergic to milk and/or other dairy products. Sy â¦ mptoms may include trouble breathing, throwing up, or your kitten being increasingly lethargic.   ~Ares.
