Several years ago I worked for someone who was notorious for replying to my
tech questions with "I dunno Nicky, did you Google it?"... with a likewise
notorious shit-eating grin.

When he called me late at night one time for help fixing a system that was
down, I asked him if he "Googled it"...  with a shit-eating grin.

Apparently, the sarcasm interpretation was a one-way street.

Yeah yeah yeah, I know, I know... if you're eating shit and grinning, you've
got far bigger problems than a file-access problem.
