There have been a couple of red-wedge images. They were here at the forums, back when the 5MV skin was really thorough. I'll see if I can dig them up.

The word is used a lot online right now -- I'm surprised you haven't run into it. Television Without Pity is probably the main reason, as they use the term extensively, even in their slogan. (Knowing TWoP, they probably also think they invented it.) Websnark.com uses it too, but a bit differently.

So it's not old-fashioned anymore... which is not to say I don't like being sesquipedalian (and other such folderol).

When used to describe someone else's posts, as I did here, "snarky" just means sarcastic or sharp. When embraced in describing one's own commentary, as TWoPpers do, it loosely translates to "I am an enormous prick."
