noodge
Won't stop bothering
A noodge is a person who pesters or nags persistently—someone who won't let a matter rest.
From Yiddish, the word also functions as a verb: She noodged him until he finally called the doctor.
The tone is usually affectionate exasperation rather than genuine hostility.
Also spelled nudge.
