An understatement is a statement that downplays the significance or importance of something.
Example: "I'm just a little tired" after running a marathon.
A falsehood is a statement that is not true or accurate.
Example: "I have never eaten chocolate in my life" when in reality the person eats chocolate regularly.
Sarcasm is a form of verbal irony where someone says the opposite of what they really mean, often with a mocking or humorous tone.
Example: "Oh great, another Monday morning, my favorite day of the week" said with a sarcastic tone.
