1. 1

    To prod someone or something means to poke it firmly, usually with a finger or a pointed object, often to get their attention or check if they react. Prod is also used for encouraging someone to finally do something they've been avoiding — 'she prodded him into applying for the job'. As a noun, a prod is the poke itself, or a friendly push to get someone moving.
