A contagious infection spread by the unprotected use of the Facebook Poke feature. Repeated poking only serves to aggravate the infection, often leading to secondary infections.

Symptoms include dryness of fingers, sensitivity of finger tips, cramping up of hands, index finger permanently placed in "poking position". Infection also generates a highly addictive and uncontrollable urge to poke others, thereby facilitating further spread.

A strange silly game credited to Johnny Conder, carried beyond the city limits by a girl named Apryl. Usually involves the smoking of marijuana, followed by Apryl jabbing her finger into your gut and saying "poke". This action is repeated until she finally exclaims "Pass the poke, man!". From there, everyone passes the poke around until collapsing into laughter or untill something else catches our attention.

poke the yolk 

A phrase that means to engage in sexual intercourse with a virgin woman. When you have sex with her, you "poke her yolk." There are many variations of this phrase. For males, you can say "choke the yolk" or "stroke the yolk." And upon completion of the aforementioned activities, the "yolk is broke." Other words that rhyme with yolk that make for extremely entertaining sexual innuendos: stoke, toke, bloke, folk, and James Polk. This definition came into existence while three young men were eating breakfast at a small restaurant in Colorado on January 15th, 2010.
I was just finishing up my P.E. class when this girl decided to stroke my yolk. She asked me if I wanted to poke the yolk with her for a little while, but I just wanted my bloke choked and I declined. Unfortunately, though, I left before my yolk broke.
