Snarkinary: The Book of the Banished
Language should evolve, but lately, it’s gone rogue.
Snarkinary isn’t a dictionary (no one’s got time for that)—it’s a dark, sarcastic archive where words go to be dragged and dismantled.
If the New York Times Word of the Day can’t be bothered to add a little edge, I'm here to make sure the truth comes out.
So buckle up, because when words get into Snarkinary, it’s not just a definition — it’s a full-on roast.
This isn’t about boring definitions. It’s where dictionaries go to get dragged, dunked, and burned in public.
Urban Dictionary fancies itself the pioneer of street-smart slang.
Reality check: it’s the toddler smashing crayons on the wall—loud, chaotic, and utterly embarrassing.
This is the Book of the Banished—the godforsaken tome where words come to rot, roasted with no mercy and zero apologies.
What Is Snarkinary?
The Snarkinary is a satirical compendium of modern language gone wrong.
Unlike a traditional dictionary that defines words to educate, the Snarkinary exists to interrogate, ridicule, and, in most cases, banish them from credible conversation.
- Word of the Day? Nah. Try Word of the Disgraced.
- Urban Dictionary? Sure, if you’re still in high school.
- Reddit self-improvement threads? Only if you like your advice with a side of delusion.
Here in the Snarkinary, every word entry comes with sarcasm, side-eye, and cultural commentary.
No healing crystals required.

Examples From The Snarkinary
Here’s a taste of the linguistic nonsense we’re dragging into the pit:
1. Delulu
Urban Dictionary: A cute term for being delusional in a fun way.
Snarkinary: Cute? More like glitter-coated denial. UD spins it as harmless fun, but it’s really grown adults obsessed with marrying a celebrity who hasn’t the foggiest who they are.
2. Vibes
Instagram Influencers: “It’s a whole vibe!”
Snarkinary: Used when no one has the vocabulary to describe their feelings, or their outfit. So they settle for “vibes.” Lazy language wrapped in neon filters.
3. Gaslight
Reddit: "He gaslit me because he disagreed."
Snarkinary: A clinical term that TikTok dragged into its toxic clutches and now applies to everything from forgetting to reply to texts to not validating your manifesting journal. RIP nuance.
4. Authentic
Corporate Trainers: "Bring your authentic self to work."
Snarkinary: Translates to: “Be vulnerable so we can mine your personality for engagement metrics.” Often weaponized in Zoom calls.
5. Hustle
LinkedIn Brofluencers: “Rise and grind. No days off.”
Snarkinary: Capitalism’s favorite war cry disguised as motivation. Usually shouted by people who inherited a duplex from Grandma.
Reddit Threads Worth Dragging Into the Snarkinary
We’ve sourced and dissected some Reddit wisdom so you don’t have to:
- r/selfimprovement: “Right. You didn’t unlock the universe, you just visualized yourself into a $7 latte and more credit card debt.
- r/LinkedInLunatics: The CEO who says “resilience” means working through a panic attack at your desk — translation: bleed quietly, the quarterly report is due.
- r/DecidingToBeBetter: Where “accountability” means blaming your childhood for not cold-emailing more people.
Consider these real-world applications of fake-deep wisdom. Snarkinary-approved for your daily dose of WTF.
The Book of the Banished
The Snarkinary is also known as The Book of the Banished.
It is because some words don’t deserve a second chance. Here are just a few that got the Suzie Scorch:
- Resilient – When you can’t say “burned out,” say this instead.
- Triggered – Weaponized by both sides. Misused by all.
- Empath – Self-proclaimed trauma sponge or just emotionally manipulative?
- Girlboss – Feminism’s most capitalist misfire.
- Unpack – Once a suitcase word, now a therapy cliché. Every sentence doesn’t need to be dissected like a trauma autopsy.
These aren’t just words. They’re linguistic crimes. And this is their sentencing.
