Skyewalker's cause of a puffed-up chest cracked me up.

Liked skye@22 - nicely rude reverse acrostic.

Vote goes to pigale@18's acrostic.

Liked Mattrom @ 32 and Tatters @30

Voting for Pigale@18 as she has answered her own question re surface reading

I liked paul@9 and tatters@29, but voting for pigale@18, a great acrostic.

I commend tatters for the creativity @ 30 and if it provided a unique combination it would have got my vote. However, though spin/ride doesn't satisfy (5) with the possibility of rip/snide (an unpleasant person) lurking and no other reference to pride I'll pass on it (this time).
There are quite a few good acronyms but, for me, it's the type of clue that the necessary "usual" indicators tend to make obvious. So
