tart
Small filled pie
Tart describes a sharp, acidic taste—the sourness of unripe fruit or lemon: tart green apples, a tart vinaigrette.
Extended to speech or manner, tart means cutting or caustic: a tart reply.
As a noun, a tart is a small open pastry with fruit or custard filling.
In British slang, tart is a mildly offensive term for a promiscuous woman or prostitute.
To tart up is to dress or decorate gaudily.
