Best Answer

"Get a rise" out of someone means to get a reaction from him or her.

Usually, it means to get on one's nerves or make them angry.

Example::

The kids giggled in the back of the classroom to get a rise out of the substitute teacher.

She wore her sister's new jeans just to get a rise out of her.
