I thought it might have something to do with the snark, as in Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark," which is, perhaps, what Max is suggesting, obliquely.

Sorry, padre, couldn't help myself. Snarky is so common a word here that defining it seems hard, hence my dodge, son.

Snarky... I got it, it's an acronym! Snappy neo-hippie arrogant rich kook Yugoslavian. (But...uh, isn't there a law or something about not having a Yugoslavian as First Lady?)
