Originated from "Happy Days" TV show but became a bit of a fad, even spawned a book (which I have, now out of print) and a website (also not active).
Generally means the time when something (TV show typically) goes from good to bad.
I think we should morph the term into "Jumped the Snark" to get the flavor right.
