agitative

And while no blood was spilled when the two reconvened Thursday night at Songbyrd in Adams Morgan, the music coming out of the PA speakers was every bit as agitative and hypnotic — an icy-hot haze of distortion that sounded like it was being funneled through an earbud the size of a Frigidaire.

These and other factors, say Kroger and Freed, account for "aggressive old maids, agitative female 'champions' in constant competition with men, narcissistic women and violent espousers of virginity."
