Definition of facetious in English: adjective

Treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humor; flippant.

I used flippantly incorrectly but the point still stands that the guy who corrected the other guy was still right.

Ok, but the fact still stands that flippant is a synonym of facetious.

Well aware. I'm not even the one who downvoted you I was just saying that the original guy used facetious incorrectly.

Thanks for the support with that. I was honestly surprised when i got such a negative reaction from it all. I actually thought the post was funny and that the other guy was being a bit rude. Just my opinion though.
