The only source of /agita/ around here is the need some people seem to

acronym in every post ... :)

First hit. Also the second, third or fourth. UrbanDictionary.com is probably the most fun.

Not really a very obscure word, but hey, there's the definition if you need it.

It's only "foreign" if you aren't from the United States, which is certainly true of a lot of people here but I still wonder at your use of the term.

For the benefit of the world community:
In American English, the terms /agita/ and /heartburn/ are also used as idioms to describe an annoying person or situation, as in "Stop it already, you are giving me a case of agita."

GIYF - one assumes a certain level of competence in this community, so the risk from the use of such fairly common terms is not really so high - those not excessively lazy can easily figure it out in about the same amount of time it takes to post a message asking the question, much less the time until someone answers.
