"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?

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.

That's hilarious! I had no idea.

I'm supposed to pay closer attention to language than I apparently have been. *slaps self* Thanks for the cool quotage.
