Abbreviation of "aggravation". Something annoying.

aggro is just general violence Comment by: andy mackay
In the States, "aggro" is an
abbreviation of "aggressive,"
specifically describing someone in the
act of angry, violent assault. Commonly
seen on the Jerry Springer Show and at
drunk frat parties across the US. Comment by: sally Rated:4/5

It looks as if the usage (meaning) in
the US is
different from the usage in Commonwealth
countries (UK, Australia, NZ etc.). The
US usage
seems to lean towards actual violence
(like a short
form of 'aggression'), and in
Commonwealth
countries more towards bother, trouble
and
harassment (like a short form of
'aggravation'). A
typical Commonwealth English usage would
be,
"Lisa? Haven't seen her for months. She
was always
on at me for some f*ckin' thing or
other, and it was
just too much aggro, so I left." Or
maybe, "I found
out she was married, though the bitch
had never
told me, and I didn't need that kind of
aggro." Comment by: Gairlochan Rated:4/5
