irritating; obnoxious; provoking
Describes someone's expression, attitude, or behavior that is deliberately annoying or offensive, often with a sense of smugness or insolence. Stronger than just 'annoying'; implies a personal, face-to-face provocation.
His provoking way of laughing really gets on my nerves.
I wish he would do something about that obnoxious attitude.
