ちょっと詮索しているだけ Explanation: This is a colloquial way of saying "having a poke around", "investigating", "looking into", "trying to find out what someone is doing", "prying". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days3 hrs (2013-05-04 13:21:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If it was in quotation marks (for the press) "I'm just having a little pokey" could mean "poke at", which means something like "dig at", "taking a shot at", "insulting", or "making fun of" and to a lesser extent "trying to provoke". |
