Synonyms of "Poke" and their differences
Q:
What is the difference between poke and stab ?
A:
Poke is kind of smaller, it's usually seen as an annoyance and not something too painful. A doctor might say to a child "Don't worry about the needle, it's just a quick poke!" or a younger child might say "My sister keeps poking me, make her stop!!" Sometimes it's even cute, like a friend might take her finger to another friend and go "Poke! How are you today?"
A stab is generally seen as more powerful / aggressive, usually done with a knife or sword, and often causes damage. (Though not always, sometimes you see something like "She stabbed the air with her pen"). But most cases it's a knife or a sword stabbing another person violently.
