"I'm going to roll you into Kingdom Come if you don't stop snarkin'."
Opal, "All My Children" just now

This is the first time I've ever heard the word "snark" outside fandom. Has anyone else heard it used off the internet?

Yep. I've run into it in books before, and not in a Lewis Carroll sort of way. I also encountered it in conversation, years ago, with a non-fandom friend who was from Newfoundland and lived in Vancouver.

I've heard it on The 70s Show.

The first time I ever heard it was on Homicide: Life on the Street. Kellerman called Bayliss snarky and Bayliss said snarky? And Kellerman said yeah, you know, from the ancient Greeks, meaning butthead.

One of my college professors said something about Emily Dickinson and her snark, and my head whipped around so fast. I was like, "Whaaat? Snark? Where?"

OT

Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I had friended you. I did a search on Andromeda and saw that we shared several interests so I went ahead and added you to my friends list. I hope you don't mind. =)

I saw it in a very English series of detective novels I'm reading at the moment, and my immediate reaction was, "Oh, Christ, it's infecting us now!" Because I hateithateithateit. *g*
