Lately I've been getting a lot of comments asking what snark is. So I'm thinking, we need a definitive definition of "snark." Post your best try and your definition may end up on my info page.

Here's what Homicide had to say on the subject:

Kellerman: You sure you want me with you?
Bayliss: Yeah. Sure, why not?
Kellerman: I don't know. The last time we worked together, you, uh, were kinda snarky.
Bayliss: Snarky?
Kellerman: Yeah. Snarky. You know, from the ancient Greek, meaning butthead.
