The person who responds dryly, often with an element of sarcasm or causticism underlying, to any given situation.
Ryan said to me after I asked him about his day: "I find that this day defines itself within a longer definition of "day". I'll let you know how I am when the "day" is done." I thought that this was a typical acerbic response from Ryan.

Get the acerbic mug.
A word that pretentious cunts say to try to look smart when they are pissed. Normal people just use the word sarcastic.
The mean man is being acerbic towards me.
