poke

(boxing) a blow with the fist

I gave him a clout on his nose

a sharp hand gesture (resembling a blow)

he warned me with a jab with his finger

he made a thrusting motion with his fist

a bag made of paper or plastic for holding customer's purchases

someone who takes more time than necessary; someone who lags behind

tall coarse perennial American herb having small white flowers followed by blackish-red berries on long drooping racemes; young fleshy stems are edible; berries and root are poisonous

poke or thrust abruptly

he jabbed his finger into her ribs

make a hole by poking

hit hard with the hand, fist, or some heavy instrument

the salesman pounded the door knocker

a bible-thumping Southern Baptist

stir by poking

poke the embers in the fireplace

search or inquire in a meddlesome way

This guy is always nosing around the office
