    "Really Bothered", five letters...

    ...last word in the puzzle. I have ATIAT, which is obviously wrong. Or ATEAT, which seems pretty wrong too. A TEAT? for "really irritated"? Nah.

    The first A is from a long answer, "The new testament", that has to be right.

    The first T is from "tests", clue was "Midterm and Final", the "ests" part is definitely right, I guess the T could be wrong, it could be Pests or something, but Tests fits the clue I think.

    The I (or the E if you prefer) I'm unsure of. It comes from "White House Memento", for which I answered "pin" or else "pen" Do they give out pins or pens at the White House? The P and the N are right, so it's Pin or Pen or Pan or Pon or Pyn or something.

    The second A is from ERA ("Important Period") and the second T is from THATSNOTTRUE ("It's A Lie!"), both of which pretty much have to be correct (the R in ERA is also the R in PROAMS).

    So what the hell is "Really Irritated" besides me?

    nah, it's ATE AT, Rock Chalk got it right. On the bright side I got the puzzle right except for one letter I knew was wrong.

    No lie but it was the last letter in the puzzle and for some reason I just couldn't see it. I don't mind humbling myself for others' amusement, though, as long as it has a chance of being teh funneh.
