How it's used

Expresses a sense of righteous anger or indignation rather than just simple annoyance. It is often used in more formal or descriptive contexts to highlight a reaction to injustice or unfair treatment. While colloquial speech often defaults to 嬲, this word adds a layer of intensity and moral weight to the speaker's frustration.
