Origins of “snark”

Posted January 5, 2006 at 2:19 PM by CoolDMZ in Miscellaneous

I’m not claiming to be the foremost Internet researcher, but via Literature.org, via Google, via Websnark.com, via Rachel Leibrock… “The Hunting of the Snark” by Lewis Carroll.

When I started using it here I had gotten it from Television Without Pity, but the specifics of the reference are lost now. I think it was on a t-shirt.

They say it on Gilmore Girls…. including the variant “snarkastic” which I love.
