hmm, maybe.
Nark was a slang word we used in the 80's.. It was a designation for a tattle tale, or a snitch.. someone who told on you when you did something wrong.
Funny how words spelled the same, have different meaning across the globe

snarky [Show phonetics]
adjective INFORMAL
criticizing someone in an annoyed way and trying to hurt their feelings:

Also Dug this up..
The Snark was an air force program begun in 1945 to produce a subsonic (600-mile-per-hour) cruise missile capable of delivering a 2,000-pound atomic or conventional warhead to a range of 5,000 miles, with a CEP of less than 1.75 miles. Initially, the Snark used a turbojet engine and an inertial navigation system, with a complementary stellar navigation monitor to provide intercontinental range. ?

threads auto-lock if they are not replied to in 4 or more months.
sadly, we had to do that because some people feel compelled to dig up something from 8 years ago. this wouldn't be a bad thing, if the topic warranted it, but sometimes it was just to reply to a post... that was old. 
i know about the auto lock, but it was that bad Lep man that done it this time.

We as children used the word to define someone who snitched on us. How it was spelled, I dunno. I always assumed that we got it from TV cause they always called them the same name, for the same reason, and it had nothing to do with drugs.
