Yes, I haven't found it in any dictionaries online. However, I've seen it written and used in texts. I'll see if I can find any of them to show you the context.

Snarkage may be subtle insults, poking fun at someone, wise cracks, and other battle with words done with taste and a slight smile. Quiet character assassination.
Something like:
Yes darling, I love your dress. Very, uh, 70ish.
A compliment with an insulting twist.

I think Dale P is right.
I wasn't able to find anything on snarkage, but I found a bunch on "snark". Snarkage is probably really close in meaning.
Maybe like verbiage is excess use of words, snarkage is an excess use of snark.
I'm not certain, though.
I hope that helps. :)

It was not in the dictionary on line. Snarky means to annoy.
