Tip for Women #4: Regarding Your Snarkiness

Okay girls, this post is one I actually WANT all your officious feedback on.

So, full disclosure: I abhor the word "snarky". It's one of those words and phrases that I've declared war on. (Another example is the phrase "I know, right?".)

I know what the word "snarky" means, but I have some serious misgivings that many of you don't do. And roughly 97.656% of you describe yourself as "snarky", so that's a potential problem. To be explicit, American Heritage defines it as follows.

Snarky

1. Rudely sarcastic or disrespectful; snide.

2. Irritable or short-tempered; irascible.

With that in mind, please comment on what YOU mean when you call yourself "snarky". And without regard to whether "snarky", to you, connotes something different, just beware of its literal meaning, yeah?
