badgerer

One who hounds

A badgerer is someone who persistently pesters or harasses another person, wearing them down with repeated requests, questions, or demands.

The term derives from the verb badger, which evokes the tenacity of cornered badgers.

The reporter was known as a relentless badgerer of politicians who dodged questions.

Unlike a mere nagger, a badgerer implies more aggressive pursuit of a response or action.
