Prod po angielsku:

I’d like to use a cattle prodder on people who block the entrances of trams.

Red in anger, she proded him and shouted all his weaknesses

She prodded him to work harder

But she was prodding me in the back with it.

Hermione prodded Ron in the back to make him hurry,

that may prod education in a positive direction

Thanks for the prod about that meeting.
