But, in the world of slang, particularly used on social media; ‘poke in slang’ has taken another meaning.

So I think in the sense of Vietnam, ‘ poke meaning’ is less about poking and more of a friendly tap. And if ever you come acrosspoke in slang in a conversation, it probably refers to this social media action, another interesting point of digital communication aspect to behold from Vietnam.
