Crossword Genius

Press your first piece of sarcasm (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

irony

'sarcasm' is the definition.
(I know that sarcasm can be written as irony)

'press your first piece' is the wordplay.
'press' becomes 'iron' (ironing is a kind of pressing).
'first piece' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'your' is 'y'.
'iron'+'y'='IRONY'

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for irony that I've seen before include "type of discussion, originally" , "What "as clear as mud" demonstrates" , "the reverse of what you'd expect" , "Satirical speech form" , "Socratic method of discussion" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
