What does NOODGE mean in Scrabble?
verb
informal
To nag or pester someone persistently, or to complain in a whining, insistent way.
The word noodge came into English from Yiddish nudyen, meaning to bore or pester, and it can act as a verb, as in a mother who noodges her son about calling home, or as a noun for the person who does the pestering. It differs from the related nudge, which describes a single gentle physical push or a light figurative prompt: a noodge keeps at someone repeatedly rather than giving one small signal. The spelling nudzh appears too, but noodge is the form most often seen in American English.
