How to use "Poking" in context?
Any discussion of poking must begin with the indisputable fact that it is a disturbing and problematic behavior. Poking is generally defined as the act of prodding someone in an intentional way with an object. This can be done with the intention of causing harm, as well as with the hope of drawing attention to yourself or initiating a conversation.
Though poking typically refers to physical contact, there is a growing body of academic literature exploring the ways in which poking can also be emotionally damaging. For example, one study found that women who were repeatedly poked with a finger were more likely to experience anxiety and stress in subsequent situations.
