| In addition to the other definitions that folks have given, I have
|heard "aggro" used as a slang form of "shit." This stems from the
|"agricultural" aspect of the word, wherein manure (cow shit) is used as
|fertilizer.
| In context, it may be used like so:
|
| "Look, buddy, don't gimme any aggro, or I'll come over there and
|stomp yer face in."

Nahhhh... They form means "Don't give me any AGGRIVATION"....
Nothing to do with agriculture.


|
| Note that in this context, both "aggravation" and "shit" would be
|appropriate fill-ins for the term.

Aggro stands for Aggrivation... Not "shit"....
