Someone that doesn't understands the meaning of no. Especially when they are trying to convince someone to do something they aren't willing to do.

When somebody is nagging you or being a pest. Lets say that a person has asked you if want to attend a party but you say "I am not sure" and then they call you back six times to see if you are going. It also could be applied to being a control freak. Some people like to dictate the direction of their partner until they feel like calling it quits or they are constantly asking themselves if it is worth it [if you have to ask yourself that question it probably isn't].

They mean that a person keeps hounding them about doing something that they don't want to do. For instance, you might want to go somewhere and you keep talking about it to someone, mentioning it every chance you get, begging them to go until they are fed up with your cr*ap. THAT's being pushy. Wanting your way and doing anything to get it. It's also called being selfish. Godloveya.

You can translate push in some ways to peer pressure. You nag or annoy a person to do something they don't want to do or aren't ready for. That's pretty much it. Now if you're talking the other meaning...that's the begining of a fight. Starts off with name calling, then pushing and shoving, then a tooth goes flying. :D Have a great day! ~JUStin

Pushy means "assertive" which means self confident or self assured or confident

It means being aggressive in the pursuit of your agenda at the expense of the other person. It means being demanding and uncompromising, and it has a negative connotation.

They are demanding. They want their kids in certain classes or to get privileges other kids don't have. They expect to be waited on first even if it's not their turn.
