뜻
Being a source of trouble.
문화적 배경
In Turkey, 'baş ağrıtmak' is often used in the passive-aggressive 'polite' form. When someone says 'Sizin de başınızı ağrıttık,' they are often fishing for the host to say 'No, not at all!' Headaches were historically linked to 'nazar' (the evil eye). If someone was 'baş ağrıtan,' they might be suspected of bringing bad energy. In Turkish startups, 'baş ağrıtmayan çözümler' (headache-free solutions) is a common marketing slogan for software or services. Similar to Italy or Greece, the loud, expressive nature of social life means 'baş ağrıtmak' is a very frequent complaint about noise and talkativeness.

Don't use with Elders
