SNARK (noun) Webster’s defines snark as an imaginary animal; someone or something that is hard to track down. Film critic and author David Denby has a different definition. He describes it as an insult or bullying ridicule that is running rampant in today’s media world, especially on the Internet. As a matter of fact, he’s written an entire book about it, entitled Snark.
