Just fyi, the slash in /s or /sarcasm isn't some weird bracket, it's meant as an XML style closing tag, meaning "end of sarcasm". In full it would look as follows:

<sarcasm>Things are going great!</sarcasm>

But people drop the opening tag and the <> for convenience.

No, the / has nothing to do with xml. It's a fake IRC command.

They were all in the style of /commandname.

You know, people tend to use sarcasm more in chats than in XML documents.
