A biting remark is an insult or criticism that is particularly harsh and cutting. The term can be broken down into three parts: 'BARB' (4 letters), 'SICEM' (5 letters), and 'TARTCOMMENT' (11 letters). 'BARB' is a verb meaning to criticize sharply, 'SICEM' is an acronym for 'say it cuz I mean it, ' and 'TARTCOMMENT' is a combination of the words 'TART' and 'COMMENT, ' which together refer to a sharp, cutting remark.
