Snark: Defined
Urban Dictionary defines "snark" in this way:

1. snark

noun
Combination of "snide" and "remark". Sarcastic comment(s).
Also snarky (adj.) and snarkily (adv.)


Want an example?

This morning Jake gave me a big hug and said, "You are the best mom ever!" I said thank you and was all giddy like a schoolgirl (or a schoolmarm, as it were).

At the time, Annie was playing in her room. I walked in to put clothes away and this is the conversation we had (get ready for the definition):

Annie: "What did Jakey say?"
Best Mom Ever: "He told me I'm the best mom ever. What do you think of that?"
(Long pause.)
Annie: "Not quite."
WTF-est Mom Ever: "Um, really? Who do you think is the best mom ever?"
Annie: "Nancy is."
Deflated-est Mom Ever: "Yeah, ok. I guess she is."

Have I ever mentioned the middle name I've changed on Annie's birth certificate?
Annabelle Snarkzilla Quigley

Didn't I ever tell you the story of M telling me that "Aunt Rie" was the best mom ever? He was about 4. Made me feel so great....
