aggro

[Ivan Dmitri]

Hi,
I've checked the meaning of the word aggro and it was written that it was a word used only in UK. Although, I've seen this word in an American series. Is this word used in US? And is this word really used at all (I've checked an frequency dictionary and it appeared in the position 55000)?

By the way, the sentence was: "[...]With the med's still wearing off, there's no chance of me going aggro just yet [...]"

Welcome to the forum, Ivan.

I encountered aggro when I worked in the UK, but not on this side of the pond.

"An American series" doesn't tell us much unless you identify it.

With the med's meds still wearing off,....

And, you should note that an apostrophe is never used to form the plural of a noun. It's a distressingly common error by even native English speakers.

Thank you very much.
The series is called "Beauty and the beast", season 1, episode 22

And thank you for the correction.

It is not used in the UK in this construction - we do not "go" agro.

We can cause/give/see some/do some/ agro or ask someone if they want any agro. It is an abbreviation of "aggravation" (uncountable noun.)

I am sorry. I've written the wrong word and I edited now. It's aggro not agro

I think this is a special usage within this TV show. Vincent, the "beast" character, transforms into a beast-like being when he's angry. Just as Bruce Bannor "hulks out" and turns into the Incredible Hulk, Vincent "goes aggro" and turns into the Beast.

I've never come across this usage myself, but the Online Slang Dicyionaru saus

Thank you very much for all the answers. This word doesn't seem to be idiomatic.
