The Snark is a fictional animal species created by Lewis Carroll in his nonsense poem The Hunting of the Snark. His descriptions of the creature were, in his own words, unimaginable, and he wanted that to remain so.


*LMAO*

I wasn't familiar with the term either til this forum. Maybe its more an American thang...

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=snark

Combination of "snide" and "remark". Sarcastic comment(s).
Also snarky (adj.) and snarkily (adv.)

and defining snark? I don't think I can, best I can offer is a reworking of a quote: "I may not be able to define it, but I know it when I see/hear it!"

Status: offline 		Wow..I'd forgotten that!! LOL!!

I think I was snarkless for the duration of the challenge ML set, but I'm not sure.

ok, so I guess I would define "snark" as "a sarcastically smartass comment with a humorous tone that the recipient often misses"

How's that?

Im another one that never uses snark!!!!!, ok, im telling fibs
Snide tends to be more "malicious" than snark but then that maybe me.
Sarcasm is the one I have usually used to define it, my mom calls me a sarky bitch.
