    Syn: To vex; harass: annoy; disturb; irritate; plague;
    torment; mortify; tantalize; chagrin.

    Usage: {Tease}, {Vex}. To tease is literally to pull or
    scratch, and implies a prolonged annoyance in respect
    to little things, which is often more irritating, and
    harder to bear, than severe pain. Vex meant originally
    to seize and bear away hither and thither, and hence,
    to disturb; as, to vex the ocean with storms. This
    sense of the term now rarely occurs; but vex is still
    a stronger word than tease, denoting the disturbance
    or anger created by minor provocations, losses,
    disappointments, etc. We are teased by the buzzing of
    a fly in our eyes; we are vexed by the carelessness or
    stupidity of our servants.

    Not by the force of carnal reason,
    But indefatigable teasing. --Hudibras.

    In disappointments, where the affections have
    been strongly placed, and the expectations
    sanguine, particularly where the agency of
    others is concerned, sorrow may degenerate into
    vexation and chagrin. --Cogan.
