badger

A badger is a short-legged mammal that digs burrows and lives underground.

You might hear people use the word "badger" when they talk about someone who keeps pushing or arguing for something, like their rights. This can happen especially if the person feels strongly about an issue and wants to make sure it's not ignored. For example, a politician might be badgering their opponent during a debate, asking tough questions to get more information out of them. The word can also imply that someone is being annoyingly persistent or pestering. If you're on public transport and someone keeps talking loudly on their phone, another passenger might say the person is badgering everyone else with their noise.
