Answer 2

I have recently seen the word snarky in The New York Times and in a cartoon in The New Yorker. What does it mean? Does it come from Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark?
The Hunting of the Snark (1876) is a nonsense poem about the quest to find an imaginary creature called a "snark." The creature's name was coined by Lewis Carroll. Since they go on a sea voyage, Carroll may have intended a blend of "snake" and "shark," though the poem gives no description of how the creature looks. The "snark" proves elusive, but the Baker does find a nasty "boojum," a variety of the snark.

The poem has nothing to do with the word snarky, which means 'sharply critical'. More precisely, snarky means critical in an annoying, sarcastic, grumpy, wisecracking, or cynical sort of way. Maybe you're referring to the recent headline in The New York Times: "The Stars of Reality TV Are Snarky, Whiny and Loud. But They Look Fabulous." The comedian David Spade has been called snarky, and so has David Letterman. The young star of the TV show Malcolm in the Middle is very snarky. And a cantankerous curmudgeon is snarky by definition.

What Does Snarky Mean

Answer 4

It comes from Lewis Carroll's 'The Hunting of the Snark". His snark was an ill-defined animal that seemed capable of everything, or nothing.
Today, snarky is used to describe the way you feel sometimes when you are all edgy and cranky but for no particular reason at all.

Answer 5

Snark refers to a belittling style of speech or writing. It could loosely be described as irritable or "snidely derisive"; hence, 'snarkish', 'snarky', 'to snark at somebody'. (The Urban Dictionary refers to it as a contraction of "snide remark".)

This word has Germanic origins and is etymologically unrelated to the imaginary creature in Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark.

Snark is also often used in fandom to describe a character's/writer's comment, action, way of acting/ writing style.

Answer 8

What a wonderful question. Religion is, of course, the form that one's worship takes. Thus there are thousands of forms. Religion includes a system of religious beliefs and practices. The object of the religion may be false gods or the true God. Hence, there is false religion and there is true. Religion can get very fancy or remain simple. In the former case, such as it is today. In the latter case, such as it was in the Garden of Eden. What then is worship to me? How do I worship? To worship means to obey. And to obey means to worship. The two are intimately connected; indeed, they are coterminous and cannot be separated. Specifically, to obey the Sovereign Lord God Jehovah of Armies is to worship Him. I do my imperfect best in this regard. I fall on my face and get back up to try and try again. In the Garden of Eden, so long as they obeyed Jehovah, Adam and Eve were worshiping him. No temple, no Mosaic Law, no meetings. Simply leave the tree of the knowledge of good and bad alone. Simple. The minute they disobeyed, they stopped worshiping Jehovah. Same with the nation of Israel. The minute they attempted to practice a syncretistic religion they stopped worshiping Jehovah. The minute they made the golden calf, they stopped. And on and on. To worship is to obey. To obey is to worship. Hannah J Paul

To me, worship is putting something or someone first in your life. That is the reason people can worship their job, their money, their family, their "belly", etc. And that is reason people can give worship to those other than Jehovah. But when Jehovah is first is your life, it is to him that you pray, that you sing about, that you speak about, that you read about, that you live for, that you long for, that you look forward to listening to and about, that you seek the approval of, that you study about, that you teach about, that you reach out to. He is your other half in a spiritual relationship. And spirituality cannot be complete without that other half. The definition of worship is multi-faceted, as are the expressions of worship. We speak of "worshiping in many ways". And that is correct. I don't mean all forms of worship are acceptable. But that our worship takes on different facets or expressions. We can't sing and study at the same time. But both are worship. We can't study and pray at the same time. But both are worship. There is more, but I will stop here.
