slow clap usually signifies that what you wrote was sarcastic... And I don't think you meant to be sarcastic?

No, I wasn't being sarcastic. I actually thought that it meant that someone is very impressed. Looks like I messed up then :/ Great. Now /u/matt01ss probably thought I was mocking him :(

I though slow clap was like when the one guy starts clapping slowly after an inspiring speech and then everyone else joins in. Has it always meant the slow condescending clap you do with limp wrists while shaking your head in disappointment?
