being aggressive indirectly

The opposite of passive aggressive. A phrase that describes a person who passively tries to change someone's mind about something, so the speaker doesn't have to let the listener know what the speaker really wants or thinks. The speaker will go to great lengths, being subtly aggressive.
Jenna was very aggressive passive when she tried to get Rob to decide that he should cancel their date.

Wearing a cosplay costume, at an inappropriate time/place, to tick off someone you dislike, instead of having a verbal confrontation with them. It works best when used on people who are too stupid to get your reference. Passive aggressive cosplay can be used as an effective form of non-verbal protest.

The intentional understanding of asking a question that truly doesn't need an answer from a person which you know is about to go ballistic. Quietly waiting to intercede with a "why you trippin'?." Knowing intentional gratitude of mischievous energy towards another.
