You honestly can't tell the difference, when it would be right to use one and not the other? Seriously?
-
You just said "they're really not synonyms" and that's just laughably, provably false. Bye.

"Push roughly." We all saw the video, you sad clown. She didn't push you roughly. She brushed your arm as she tried to move past you.
-
She turned her body *away* from you & brushed past your arm. She didn't turn to you and push forcefully. Stop milking this for attention.

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

Look at the following words: shove HIM vs push HIS ARM ASIDE. You don't see a substantial difference in meaning?

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

"Push roughly" is hardly what she did to your arm, snowflake.

Read E Loftus' research on how changing the word "hit" to "smashed" altered subject' perceptions.

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.

"Not surprising" is what you need right now -- give your body time to recover from the shock of Rep. Waters "driving into" you
-
you were literally MANHANDLED, whatever that means (I'm not gonna look it up because obviously it has the exact same definition as "shove")

I often get annoyed when apps send me annoying shove notifications.

That's good. Roughly shove notifications.

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

The synonym is "push roughly". You didn't read that very carefully.
