SNARK?

[Trever1t]

What's a snark? Is it a verb...I want to snark you? Is it an adjective? That comment was real snark? Perhaps its a noun? See that snark?

Or snarky--that was a snarky comment. I interpret that as being rude or ignorant i guess

I know Lewis Carroll hunted for one:

"Just the place for a Snark! I have said it twice:
That alone should encourage the crew.
Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice:
What i tell you three times is true."

I thought I had posted this in the 'off topic' section but I posted from my phone as my darned work monitor died suddenly. Mybad.

So let me ask if this is proper usage....I was being snarky when I started this thread?

If there are words slightly to the right of the avatar immediately to the left of this sentence there's a decent chance it is an example of snark. But not always. Sometimes I'm helpful.

Love Jaws, version one and 2.

But really, until today I never saw a Snark and apparently they run rampant through the forums and subsections untethered! What possible outcome can there be!

You and I both, buster!

To the OP: I think "snarky" is just a word that bored and hormonal internet women came up with to replace and place extreme emphasis on the word "sarcasm". "Snarky" replies can also be antagonistic in nature.

I never even heard of the word before I joined a wedding and a married life forum.

And if you'll take notice, I'm willing to bet that 90% of the people using that word on this forum are women... or men who got the term from a woman.
