My supervisor keeps poking me asking to meet the target ASAP"?

[tufguy]

Can I say "My supervisor keeps poking me asking to meet the target ASAP"? Is it correct to say "Poke" if I want to say that he keeps nagging me?

 

[Tarheel]

No. Say he keeps reminding you to meet the target ASAP.

You could also say "keeps prodding me".

There are a few verbs we use to mean "remind" or "nag" but "poke" isn't one of them.

He keeps prodding me to get started.
She's nudging me to get going on the decorating.

I prefer 'pestering'.

I prefer 'pestering'.

Yup! "Pestering/nagging/harassing" all work. They all sound a little more forceful than "prodding/nudging"

Another: bugging.
