Loc: this too shall pass this thread is beginning to look a bit smarmy - and it's gone pear-shaped to boot:
1) Eshuff under snarnie is some sort of UD erratum; it has its own entry (under E, where you'd expect it).
2) if you google snarny, many of the 6000+ gh are just typos for smarmy (e.g., a snarmy smile on their face), although there are also
a) a suggestion that it is a blend of smarmy and snarky {like}
b) a misguided attempt to relate it to every other word that starts out snar* (see http://www.click4everything.com/db/snarmy.html)
as to scarmy, I don't know what that's got to do with the price of snarls in Albuquerque, but if you follow the link, you'll see that the proffered usage is from a five(5) paragraph blog entry and not from "a book by a NE author" at all. [sorry, just being snarmy!]
