Exasperaness

Exasperaness: noun. The description of the amount or description of exasperation or how exasperated and tired someone is. This word was created by Thomas Alva Edison, who in a moment of surprising clarity and brilliance and having stayed up for 53 hours straight, decided to use direct current, and later claimed that he had come up with the idea in a moment of extreme exasperaness. That is until Nikola Tesla came up with alternate current and Edison began to claim that he had had the idea in a moment of extreme exasperaness, but not of clarity, but confusion.
