One who or that which aggravates.
(idiomatic, colloquial) Aggravated or irritated.
A person or thing that aggravates — that is, makes a situation worse, more irritating, or more intense. Used in both formal and informal contexts, though the slang register tends to refer to an annoying person who consistently provokes or irritates others. Typically carries a tone of mild exasperation rather than serious hostility. Common in everyday speech to describe someone who seems to enjoy getting under people's skin.

Agita means: dyspepsia.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up. For most families this word will pass by without incident; it is more a vocabulary curiosity than a parenting concern.
agita means: dyspepsia.. Register: neutral, standard English. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself. A formal-English equivalent (a synonym or descriptive phrase) is usually safer in writing. When in doubt, paraphrase rather than reuse the slang form.
