Poke the bear 

A game from the TV Show "Scrubs" where two people passive-aggressively make fun of a person standing nearby, slowly getting more and more critical/personal with the person. The game ends when the person tries to call you on insulting them, or one of the players makes nervous eye contact with the person, giving it away.
Example of Poke the bear:

(Dr. Cox enters the room from the room of a patient he cannot diagnose)
J.D.: So Turk, yesterday i had this patient I could just not diagnose.
Turk: Wow you must have felt like a real jackass.
J.D.: I did feel like a jackass, but then I was able to figure out what was wrong with them because I'm not a jackass, I'm a good doctor... Oh hey Dr. Cox, how are things?

don't poke the bear

A phrase uttered to ward off people who are needlessly angering, upseting, or annoying you... sometimes even going out of the way to do so. A different way to warn people that they're on thin ice, or that a joke is going too far.
John, eating pancakes: Ughh, these are terrible...

Macy: I'm sorry I tried not to burn them this time...

John, laughing: The syrup isn't even seeping in!

Macy: Hey, you never cook so don't complain!

John, still giggling, takes another bite and makes a gagging sound

Macy: Hey, don't poke the bear!

Poke The Tailpipe 

A game played by a group of men either in the office with co-workers or at parties.

It involves someone being the 'Car' (the guy who gets ridden) and a cardboard tube (the 'exhaust') from either a toilet or kitchen roll. (Length depends on who's playing!)

- The car inserts the exhaust in-between his arse cheeks.
- The other men take turns driving the car by fucking the exhaust.
- Each driver does this until they ejaculate up the exhaust.
- The winner is the driver who pushes through the cum drenched exhaust and pokes the tailpipe ('arse').
Person: "Hey Grant do you want to play Poke The Tailpipe at lunch?"
Grant: "Yeah sure, but someone else can be the car this time"

Poke the moon 

This is a euphemism for anal fingering. Or anal probing with ones phalanges.
Last night after some heaving petting, we decided to move on to poke the moon instead, this was considerably more pleasurable.
