A comment on SNURK

.. a while ago I read a message that had quite a mean definition of snurk .. saying that it was some kind of sarcastic comment

well to me a Snurk is that kind of snorty sound you get in the back of your throat when you are slightly surprised by the humour (yours or someone elses) and has no negative connotations ...

.. I forgot to respond at the time, but as a veteran snurker would hate people to think I was being a sarky cow (unless I was actually being a sarky cow .. which is also possible .. Wink)

gah

and snurk

..

snurk is a puerile snort, usually in response to a double entendre.

to me a snurk is more of a private snort and snigger - a 'lol' is much louder and somehow more public.

thank you for the definition twiglett :)

arf is more that guffaw you do in public when something really tickles you Grin
