Is the word "nettle/nettled" common so as to be used in a conversation? What different meaning does it give when compared to its synonymous counterparts (irritate, annoy, irk, vex...etc)?
- Inglês (EUA)
I'd say it's fairly uncommon, but not unheard-of. I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone use it in conversation--it's more common in books.
It's generally used the same as "annoyed," but sometimes it gets closer to "provoked." If A is deliberately trying to annoy B, then B is more likely to be "nettled."

Obviously wrong

To nettle or nettled is not used very often at all where I’m from (USA)
To me, nettle sounds less severe than vex, irk, irritate or annoy
