snarkiness
Mocking, biting tone
Snarkiness is the quality of being snide, irritable, or sharply critical in a way that's mean but often clever.
It combines rudeness with wit: I could do without the snarkiness.
The adjective snarky and noun snark are more common; snarkiness emphasizes the trait as habitual rather than momentary.
