      They're really not synonyms. Honestly. They're different. Look it up. Also, stop whining. Nobody's buying it.

          They literally modify "push" with the adverb "roughly," because the literally don't mean the same thing.

          In the definition YOU JUST GAVE, it says shove means to push ROUGHLY. So shove clearly means to push with MORE FORCE. they aren't the same

          You see, words have denotations and connotations. Denotations are literal definitions and connotations are subjective added meaning

          my dude the fact that shove is defined as pushing *roughly* should indicate to you that the words have slightly different connotations

          If they are synonyms why did you choose "shove" vs. "push" or "jostle" or "nudge" or "poke"? There's a video, time to move on.

          That list shows that synonyms aren't 100% identical in meaning. Pushing someone's arm out of the way is not a shove.
