It usually works out pretty well with native speakers not familiar with the term. They usually have a moment with a blank stare thinking “what the hell is an acoustic bike?” and then realize all at once with a smirk.

As for your second question, acoustic becomes a good classification when talking to a group where electric bikes are the default, just like electric becomes a good classification where pure pedal bikes are the default. In a group where ebikes are the default they might assume you’re talking about throttle type if you say analog, or a pedal assist bike if you said manual. It started as a joke and became a useful term.

A lot of these tents have an inner mesh portion with a bathtub floor you can add. I enjoy having more area I can wear my boots in the shelter, especially when it’s cold.

You’re outdoors bugs will get anywhere they want regardless (and rodents will chew their way in if they can’t find an easier way)

Could definitely make sense in dryer regions. I’d probably still use a bivy. If you set your tent in an improper spot having a floor isn’t going to save you from water flowing beneath your tent.

I just put down a tarp for my sleeping pad. Somehow it makes the tent breathe better in my experience. After an hour or two the ground usually soaks up the water.

I have a similar tent and was surprised how little I missed having a floor.

Have you checked out shadows of doubt? I had a ton of fun with it. Just waiting for some more updates.
