In a slightly sour or mildly acidic manner; with a subtle tart quality.
Adverbial form of 'acidulous' with the suffix '-ly.' Allows the description of actions, behaviors, or qualities performed with a slightly sour character.
When someone speaks acidulously, their tone is wryly amusing rather than cruel—like a good stand-up comedian's sharp observations that make you laugh rather than hurt your feelings!
