thanks a bunch

Insincere appreciation expressed

Thanks a bunch is an expression of gratitude, often with a sarcastic edge.

Sincerely, it's a casual, emphatic thank-you: Thanks a bunch for helping me move.

But the phrase frequently conveys the opposite—irritation disguised as appreciation: Thanks a bunch for telling everyone my secret.
