kellinatorLately 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.

Date: 2003-11-24 11:13 am (UTC)(adjective) describes a witty mannerism, personality, or behavior that is a combination of sarcasm and cynicism. Usually accepted as a complimentary term. Snark is sometimes mistaken for a snotty or arrogant attitude.
Her snarky remarks had half the room on the floor laughing and the other half ready to walk out.
I think that an important part of snarky is that it should be both witty and rude whereas sarcasm is frequently just rude.
