An argument that degenerates into a war of witty retorts, snarky insults, and/or clever flames. The original point of the argument becomes invalid, if there was one. Once it becomes a snarkument it is just a contest of sarcastic comebacks.
These are popular in movies and sitcoms, especially with
annoying bitchy characters who aren't actually
funny. a lot of
people try to emulate it IRL for fun and drama, but fail because they'
re not actually intelligent enough to pull it off, and then they're all butthurt that their life isn't like their favorite TV show.
When one is a true master of snarkuing, there is much joy to be found in the world. It is one of the highest, most enjoyable and satisfying forms of
trolling, particularly when met with an earnest, capable, but oblivious opponent.
Judging my the conversations in my head, I'd win any snarkument I came across.
A clever
troll who can lead his unwitting victims into a trap of
perfect insults that they
may not even understand—he is a master of the snarkument.
