Created by: jesster
Pronunciation: Snar + sis + sis + tic
Sentence: I saw the Jehovah's Witnesses lurking in the lobby, and quickly formed a snarcissistic plan. I stepped back and held the door open for a pleasant looking woman approaching from behind me.

Etymology: Snare (to trap or entangle) + narcissist (one who is consumed by self interest)
