- Isn't snarl usually a sound and everything in this article a "sneer"? ESPECIALLY when the sneer entry uses one of the pictures from this article?
OED defines a snarl as "1. Of dogs, etc.: To make an angry sound accompanied by showing the teeth." Of the 5 usages it lists, all mention noise and only that one that mentions any expression. Merriam Webster has a similar definition: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/snarl The entire definition here is clearly significantly different, is it a technical psych usage? Regardless, I'm removing the claim that "Snarling is often accompanied by threatening vocalizations. As a result, by misunderstanding phrases such as "the dog was growling and snarling", "snarling" is often used to mean the threatening noise" as this is NOT a misunderstanding but the actual common definition of the word.

I've corrected the stub in line with this point and added references to confirm. Someguy9273 (talk) 14:17, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
