Clichés, almost more than the too-hip attitude, are what define this style of writing. Like other humor clichés, those of Snark are cyclical, but as of this writing, “Best. [Insert a thing]. Ever.” (with periods between each word) is enjoying widespread use. Faux-Conversational words and phrases like “Welp,” (as a version of “Well”), “I know, right?,” “Ya think?,” “Hells no,” and “Wow. Just wow,” imply a conversation with the reader that’s not happening.
