My only reference for that word comes from Lewis Carrol's "The Hunting
Of The Snark".
Seems unrelated, though...

Dunno if that's related, but this reminds me of the old-egyptian
"snarkophagus".

Sorry for the inappropriate reply on the main list (also, I should have
thought to look on -talk anyway.)

http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=snark&searchmode=none

only shows the Carrol reference, but the Urban Dictionary says it is a
combination of the words "snide" and "remark"

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

Even though I knew what the word meant, to the point of using it in my
post, but I couldn't figure out the etymology -- it's obviously not part
of the Queen's English -- until I saw the urban dictionary
explanation...  Funny what you /think/ you know, but don't, really.
