Hello there,
I'm just encountered with this sentence, "A nice one you are!"
Am I right in guessing it's something sarcastic?
Thanks a million in advance.  |

| It is sarcastic and means just the opposite |

And it sounds a bit like Yoda:
A nice one you are! The Force it is that you foolishly play with!
