aggro

British slang: trouble

Aggro is aggressive behavior or hostility, often needlessly confrontational: Why all the aggro? I just asked a question.

Common in British and Australian slang.

In gaming, aggro refers to a hostile creature's attention—drawing aggro means becoming its target: The tank needs to hold aggro so the healer doesn't get hit.
