Ever seen divers getting agro under water?

argo - 1. Astronomy. a very large southern constellation, now divided into Vela, Carina, Puppis, and Pyxis, four separate constellations lying largely south of Canis Major.
2. Classical Mythology. the ship in which Jason sailed in quest of the Golden Fleece.

I'm pretty sure I've never seen divers getting either one of those underwater.

From Mo's Urban Dictionary:

. agro 7 thumbs down love ithate it

violently, angry
A person is agro when they are spitting mad, screaming, and yelling, and every vein in their head is about to bust!

Walter, I have never heard that use either but then we speak English, not urban street gang banger slang. I refuse to participate in a lowering of society to some jungle level of grunting and scratching and territorial marking.

Whatever do you mean sir Nemrod? We are simply returning to our roots of clicks, grunts, and chirps!

Just don't squeal like a pig.

Ebonics missed the boat, it should have been Urbanonics.

Proud to have grown up in a house, not on the street.

If you Taser somebody underwater will you Taser yourself?

Meh, I understand that you may not be familiar with MMOs, PVPing and griefers, but we all use colloquialisms, idioms, abbreviations and acronyms, especially over the internet. Dismissing terms you're not familiar with as "urban street gang banger slang" while happy LOLing along with the rest of us is...well, you know. Besides, unless you were button-up, proper, hung around 40 year-olds all day and never used slang (we know you did, you hep cat you :cool2:) when you were in high school, let's not fall into the whole "You young whipper snapper you, why, back in my day we had to walk 10 miles in the snow..." thing here.
 
If you look at me wrong, I'd knife you.
If you wear blue color fins, I'd knife you.
If you wear a jacket BC, I'd knife you.
If you wear a snorkel, I'd knife you.
If you wear a brass SPG bolt snapped to your jacket BC's D-ring, I'd knife you.
 
I don't feel like discussing the merits of those threats here but I am curious to hear if anyone has ever seen divers getting aggressive under water? Or better yet, have you ever been involved?

Yep. A photographer friend of mine was trying to frame a wolf eel shot on Vancouver Island about 15 years ago when a group of divers descended from a commercial dive boat and attempted to shoulder their way in without queing up for their turn. A quick body check of the first one to approach, a move I learned playing underwater hockey, disuaded him and the others. My friend got his shot and we left the eels to the tourists.:rofl3:

Other than shallow water Mike Nelson role playing in the sands of Refugio, underwater self defense for lifeguarding, and overly aggressive water polo players, my water combat has been lacking. Maybe that's why I lived as long as I have.

The post you quoted was about "agro" - your response was about "argo". I don't see the connection between the two.
