Definition

Persistent complaining or criticism, typically about mundane issues that could easily be ignored if people weren't so invested in being right. While the term is often gender-stereotyped, anyone of any gender can achieve expert-level nagging with enough dedication. It's basically the verbal equivalent of water torture—repetitive, annoying, and surprisingly effective.

Example Usage

"My roommate won't stop nagging me about doing the dishes, even though it's only been three days."
