Mordant
Pronounced < more-dent >
It means: a sarcastic cruel and biting wit
Daily use: The bully once had a mordant sense of humor. He was very nice now.
Memory trick:
mordant
mord (reminds of) = mortified or shocked surprise
ant (reminds of) = a small bug or very little
Mortifying words will make someone feel very small
