Nobody in the competitive community uses 'poke' for 'aim' or 'spin' (they don't call 'aim' anything and they call 'spin'.. well, spin; in fact, it would seem really silly for anyone to say poke to something that is a spin). I should have been more exact in the article: It's not that all english speakers got confused, because the Brits learned about the term poke quickly via the esl and the Americans (prior to playing on the esl) just used the term 'wiggle' and later on used poke and wiggle interchangeably (everyone would regardless of time never consider using the term poke for spin though; the term aim was only used by few people, most didn't have a word for it). The confusion only comes about in people unfamiliar with competitive play, so they use 'poke' for both aim and wiggle. This is exactly the kind of distinction I made in the article and I will set out to correct the deficiency. --[[User:Masta|Masta]] ([[User talk:Masta|talk]]) 14:32, 5 March 2013 (EST)

Also need to know It is a term and I hate to call it but w/e, a skill set that major amount of players don't prefer to use or have others use them. Because of the one hit kill it is unfair to the others who play for fun or play as if the game was set in reality, but what do I know. Like to have both sides of Good & Bad. Never seen in the movies someone poking ^.^ [[User:Bacon|Bacon]]
Yeah it's really stupid, but blame the game. --[[User:Masta|Masta]] ([[User talk:Masta|talk]]) 03:27, 6 March 2013 (EST)
Most people actually use 'poke' as a term for a technique that is pretty much a mix of 'wiggle' and 'aim'. I think in the end not the actual meaning of the term is important but what it is referred to in the scene. Personally I disagree with poke being the same technique as wiggle (even if it was supposed to be).
