Magerln

"Magerln" is an Austrian slang verb describing how something unpleasant annoys or worries somebody. The word "Magen" means "stomach" in German, so "magerln" can be understood quite literally as indicating stomach aches sparked by some problem. The word is used in the southern province of Carinthia, but it is also known in Vienna and in the province of Lower Austria. "Des magerlt mi scho sehr!" can be translated as "Im really annoyed by that."
