I spend as much of my free time as possible surfing and in the slang of that sport, aggro = aggressive. There is actually an online NorCal surf related BBS called "Aggroville". It lives up to it's name, perhaps that's why the LUG seems so nice to me, even given recent posts... In this instance, aggro is usually used in a context like: "An aggro local went off on a kook from the valley and started chucking baseball sized rocks at him from the jetty. When that didn't work he flatted all four of his tires." And before you ask, yes this happens (and worse). I'm thinking surf localism might be a fun subject for a little amateur photojournalism with my Leica - to stay on topic...
