And most of those cases are of course using the word sarcastically

collapsed list of themThe next function to implement is called, amazingly, next(); its job is to move the iterator forward to the next position in the sequence.

if (lc->sync == NOSYNC)
	for (i = lc->header.nr_regions; i < lc->region_count; i++)
		/* FIXME: amazingly inefficient */
		log_set_bit(lc, lc->clean_bits, i);
else
	for (i = lc->header.nr_regions; i < lc->region_count; i++)
		/* FIXME: amazingly inefficient */
		log_clear_bit(lc, lc->clean_bits, i);

/*
 * Amazingly, if ehv_bc_tty_open() returns an error code, the tty layer will
 * still call this function to close the tty device.  So we can't assume that
 * the tty port has been initialized.

 *   this header was blatantly ripped from netfilter_ipv4.h
 *   it's amazing what adding a bunch of 6s can do =8^)

I didn't add a star at the end for the word search, so at least for that example, the sarcastic ones were all 'amazingly' and consequently not counted, and the 'amazing' at the end seems literal. I haven't looked at any other cases, though.
