Acerbic, I think, but not really passive aggressive.

How is acerbic different from ironic?

It's from from acerbus "bitter to taste, sharp, sour, tart." So it's something said in a mildly mean, cynical, or indeed bitter way, which could include irony but doesn't have to.

Also cynicism is about dogs (and Diogenes), and sarcasm is to do with tearing flesh. There's something called the etymological fallacy that says I shouldn't explain words via their roots, but I like to anyway, I think it adds meaning.

I don't know, it's clearly a synonym to me. "Why? Are we running out of names to give out?" is clearly with the intention to be mean but be smug about it, so hence the passive agressiveness.

One is bitter or sour, and the other is a good source of iron.
