Snarky

It's my new favorite sounding word, but what does it mean? How should it be used in context?

Re: Snarky

  • snarky means to be extremely sarcastic...mean and rude is really more like it.  Lots of the national boards have lots of snarkiness.  Check out the Married Life board, or the Trouble in Paradise board, or the Babies on the Brain board.  Those girls are masters at snarkiness. 
  • I love the word snarky.  I generally use it when I'm being more b!tchy than sarcastic though...

    I said snarky the other day, and the person looked at me like I had 2 heads.  Big Smile

  • there's also a snarky brides board on the knot
  • oooh i see. i can sub it for sassy or backtalk when my DD is acting up, "quit being snarky or you're grounded from your nintendo". so does that make me cool to know a "trendy" word before she does?
  • I think snarky is a little more heavy on the b!tchiness than sassy... To me, snark generally means people pointedly being funny or witty at the expense of others. So to that person and their friends, it's hysterical but to the person who is being picked on, it's hurtful.

  • to each to his own interpretation - which is why that urbandic meaning cracks me up.  Its as if Dane Cook invented the term!!!  ha.

    I see it as sarcasim. 

    but I like the word itself, not necessarily all meanings though.....

  • I always thought it meant rude...my MIL uses it all the time so it's a word that bothers me...
