The etymology surely involves L.C.'s Snark. But to be snarky I think is to
be somewhat angrily sarcastic. And the implication is that the sarcasm is
inappropriate, ever so slightly monstrous, ever so slightly absurd.

I stopped smoking close to a month ago. I've quit before for several years,
but still had a desire for it. After I quit this time, a couple of friends
both recommended Allen Carr's book. And that's been an incredibly useful
book in helping me get fully free from all desire for tobacco. Now there's a
book for poets. It's quite iconoclastic, really. I highly recommend it.
