          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

          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.
