    Snarkies

    German colleague in a telephone conference with a bunch of yanks. The word "snarkies" or "shnarkies" was used.

    What's that mean then?

    It means Irritable or short-tempered.

        Also a slang word for mosquitoes and their ilk where I live
        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
