Sorry for the inappropriate reply on the main list (also, I should have thought to look on -talk anyway.) > My only reference for that word comes from Lewis Carrol's "The Hunting > Of The Snark". > Seems unrelated, though... 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...
