Snark

I am a fan of the word "snark."

I was asked by a client to provide a definition of it, but I found a definition at UrbanDictionary.com that I feel sums up my usage of the word.

"SNARK: verbal ingenuineness that is brief, subtle, yet quite stabbing. snark is often marked by deep creativity & use of psychological attack. It employs coldbloodedness and is best served unprovoked. Snark can contain hidden complimentary meaning under a mean face, but it hurts more than it strengthens.

usu found in adjective form: 'snarky': making use of snark."

Using it in a sentence: The Industrious Hygienist sometimes makes snarky remarks about the Asbestos Beast and its inability to be consistent in scheduling attacks.
