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.
- aggravator58%
A person or thing that persistently makes a bad situation worse, someone who provokes, irritates, or escalates tension by habit. Though not strictly slang, it functions informally as a label for chronic instigators. More neutral in tone than an outright insult but carries a clear negative charge. Typically applied when the behavior is habitual rather than a one-time offense. The word implies a recurring pattern, not a single bad day.
