Again, my mood in the morning is more acerbic than a truckload of overripe limes.

My grandmother uses that word all the time!

[rainbow-yarn.livejournal.com]

haha which one?

[kitsunepixiemd.livejournal.com]

Ornery. (Sorry, didn't notice "acerbic.") Typical usage for her:

"AAA! That little kitten is purty, but she's as ornery as a snake!"

Ahaha I like your grandma already.

I loved your double useage of acerbic in that sentence. :D

I think I've been pronouncing ornery incorrectly all my life. I say more like OR-ner-ee than AWR-nuh-ree.
Oh well.

Say it how you want. Dictionary.com can suck it.

I have been confused about that one for awhile too because I have always said "OR-ner-ee" and my husband says "AWR-nuh-ree." Looks like he was right, but I just have trouble thinking of it as "AWR-nuh-ree" given the way it's spelled!

Your icon makes me all kinds of happy.

:D I admit, I become mesmerized by this icon every time I use it.
