A. Description of the 9-11 attacks by Joe Biden.

B. A totally inappropriate word to describe the September 11th attacks.
Voter: "Man, I sure hope Biden doesn't say something stupid again."
Joe Biden on 9-11: "It is a bittersweet moment for the entire nation.."
Voter: (slaps self on forehead)

Person A: "Thinking about 9-11 makes me realize how bittersweet the whole thing is."
Person B: "You're a total moron, there's nothing sweet about it!"

Somewhere between bitter and sweet. Used to describe moderates. Neither a Democrat nor a Republican.
I'm bittersweet; While I'm socially conservative, I'm economically a liberal.

A clear example of an oxymoron; when something tastes good, but also tastes bad; when a thought or feeling is good and bad/happy and sad/smiley and frowny, etc.
Joe sighed, remembering only bittersweet memories.

When something makes you SO happy, but makes you SO depressed.
I love how he holds me and says that he 'loves me' but when he fucks up, and breaks promises or says something shitty when seriously drunk. He's bitter, bittersweet.

The video for Youtopia - Armin Van Buuren feat. Adam Young is bittersweet because is symbolizes the boy being dead and the girl misses him so much (sad) but they are together again (happy)

the most popular song ever released by the Wigan-based Britrock group The Verve on their third and final album, Urban Hymns. Bitter Sweet Symphony was released in 1997 and features a small sample from a Rolling Stones song which caused Verve to be sued for copyright infringement.

as a side note, the song is also among one of the easiest tunes ever written to become stuck in your head...
cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
