| Submission declined on 5 September 2024 by DoubleGrazing (talk). Neologisms are not considered suitable for Wikipedia unless they receive substantial use and press coverage; this requires strong evidence in independent, reliable, published sources. Links to sites specifically intended to promote the neologism itself do not establish its notability. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a dictionary. We cannot accept articles that are little more than definitions of words or abbreviations as entries. A good article should begin with a good definition, but expand on the subject. You might try creating a definition for this instead at Wiktionary, which is a dictionary. Please only do so if it meets that sister project's criteria for inclusion. These require among others, attestation for the word or phrase, as verified through clear widespread use, or its use in permanently recorded media, conveying meaning, in at least three independent instances spanning at least a year.

(Sarcolicious) describes a form of written parody, satire, or sarcasm used by residents of countries led by totalitarian regimes, where overt ridicule of the regime and its institutions would be dangerous to the writer.
A sarcolicious comment consists of ridicule of the state and its institutions by vigorously parroting their own nonsense. The intent of sarcoliciousness is that officials of the state will have no idea they were being ridiculed, while the thinking reader would fully appreciate the humor.
