Erasable means simply “able to be erased”—literally or metaphorically; it is often used in reference to mistakes:
We must be careful because the hurtful words we say to others are not erasable.
Irascible is related to the words ire (anger) and irate (angry); it means “easily angered” (able to be angered easily). However, it is not usually used to describe a dangerously angry or violent person; irascible describes a person who is easily annoyed, grumpy, disagreeable, or just likes to argue.
