what is POKE in facebook

The Meaning of the Term Poke Has Never Been Defined
In Facebook explains how “poking” works on its help center, there’s no explanation to be found for the origin of the phrase. The most common definition is a friendly
“NUDGE,”
but the more flirtatious connotations cannot be ignored.
According to David Kirkpatrick reveals in The Facebook Effect that Zuckerberg once responded to a question about what a poke meant on the social networking site with: “We thought it would be fun to make a feature that has no specific purpose… So mess around with it, because you’re not getting an explanation from us.”
