What does SNARF mean in Scrabble?
verb
informalNorth American
To gulp down food or drink in a hurried, greedy way.
Snarf describes eating in a hurried, unrestrained way, often suggesting the eater cares more about speed and quantity than manners. It is casual, mainly North American slang, heard more in speech than in careful writing, and often used about snacks or fast food rather than a formal meal. A related computing slang sense uses snarf for grabbing or copying a chunk of data quickly, which keeps the same idea of taking something fast and without much care. The word has a slightly comic, exaggerated feel, making it common in casual conversation about someone finishing food unusually fast.
