Acerbity
Acerbity, n. The quality that distinguishes the disposition of Deacon Fitch from a crab-apple.
2005 Update: The distinction between a satirical lexicographer and a mere saint.
Acerbity, n- a term one uses when discussing the taste of a vagina which goes without saying as Acerb; adj- used by ladies when referring to the ph of their vagina as the term acid is scary to potential lovers.
a4g, that's a great definition. The last phrase is more apt than Webster.
As for the rest of you scoundrels and scoundrelesses, I'm about to offer myself to Little Bar of Soap. Perfectly good word and all you people can think about are orifices! GET BEHIND ME, SATAN!!!

The gynecologist comes home from work and says: "Had a hard day at the orifice!"
I don't know how you can be so clever day after day, Doug!
A post in my honor? Well, I guess I can only be honored!
acerbity-the state of mind the day before a rectal exam.
Sreekesh, you want on my list too?!?!?!?!
Icy, that's an oldie but a goodie. Wasn't that what his wife said?
Aral, acerbic acid supplements. (and thank you)
Et tu, Lisa?
Karma, that's over my head. Pun intended.
*wiping tears from my eyes from laughing*
You guys are slaying me.
