Snarky

I love this word, although many friends have challenged its status as an actual word.

To say that someone is snarky compactly conveys that that person’s speech or writing is saying: “See how smart, witty, sophisticated and hip I am. Your ideas are simplistic, sophomoric and inferior to mine.”

  i LOVE SNARKY. my friends also disagree that it is actually a word.

  my use is something more akin to someone being a smartass; an attempt at humor in acting smart or witty, usually to demean someone in a playful and/or hurtful manner.

  The late George Harrison of the Beatles liked “grotty”, meaning “grotesque”.
