Change Facebook poke to tickle

A YouTuber called thewinkone has set up a new petition on Facebook to change the 'poke' to a 'tickle'. You can find the humourous video here. Poking on Facebook can mean a number of different things. For example, to initiate conversation; for fun and because you like the other person.

Thewinkone believes it is awkward when a straight guy poke every other straight guy on Facebook which has lead to the creation of this FB group. He also believes that if the change is implemented, the guys will think that tickling isn’t manly so will stop the poking.
