   Usage: To Irritate, Provoke, Exasperate. These words

          Irritate denotes an excitement of quick and slightly
          angry feeling which is only momentary; as, irritated
          by a hasty remark. To provoke implies the awakening of
          some open expression of decided anger; as, a provoking
          insult. Exasperate denotes a provoking of anger at
          something unendurable. Whatever comes across our
          feelings irritates; whatever excites anger provokes;
          whatever raises anger to a high point exasperates.

          irritated; proud people are quickly provoked; hot and
          fiery people are soonest exasperated.'' --Crabb.
