shove

A shove is when you push someone or something with force, often suddenly and roughly.

Imagine you're at a party and someone gets too close to the food table. You might give them a gentle nudge out of the way, but if you really need to clear space quickly, you could give them a shove. It's like pushing someone aside, not being mean-spirited, just getting things moving again.
