NOTE: Something very strange happened with this one. I opened the document with all my words on it, copied them, and pasted them to the Random Choice Generator as usual. This is the word it gave me. I copied it and pasted it into my browser to go to the definition. All normal there. Then I went back to my doc to mark acidulous as 'used'... except I couldn't find it. It wasn't there. (Cue spooky music).  Where did it come from?  The generator only picks a word from the list you give it, but this word was not on that list...
Take that as you will. I guess acidulous wanted to be here, for some reason. Do share if you got any unexpected inspiration from it.
