The word for today is…
acrid (adjective):
1: sharp and harsh or unpleasantly pungent in taste or odor : irritating
2: deeply or violently bitter : acrimonious
Source : Merriam -Webster
Etymology : Acrid exactly fits the smoke from a fire—a burning building or forest, for example. 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.
