Question

acrid The acrid odor of gunpowder hung in the air long after the shots' echoes had died away. ˈækrɪd

Accepted Answer

Dense smog may cast an acrid pall over a city, making throats burn and eyes sting. But, like acid and acerbic, acrid sometimes also describes nonphysical things, such as the remarks of a bitter person
