WORD: Acrid

Use this adjective to describe something that has a strong - but not in a good way - taste or smell.

As the guests waited in the dinning room for the aspiring chef to bring out the first course, an acrid scent drifted in from the kitchen.

With a flip of her hair, the newly crowned beauty queen turned and walked away, the acrid nature of her words to the runners up hanging bitterly in the air.

I spat, trying to get the acrid smokey taste of the bus's exhaust out of my mouth.

How many times can you work it into conversation this week?!? (I'm hoping you won't need to, actually.)
