Poke

Definitions

1. To send a light follow-up message, reminder, or quick check-in, usually without escalating the issue. In work chat it is softer than demanding an answer immediately.

   In plain English: Send a small follow-up reminder or check-in.

   Example: "I'll poke the infra team if the DNS record still hasn't propagated in an hour."
