OBS

nudge: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que aunque a menudo [el término inglés "nudge"] se traduce como "empujón", esta palabra alude a un impulso que se da con fuerza, mientras que la voz inglesa sugiere […] que se trata de un estímulo suave, razón por la que en ocasiones se emplea "empujoncito", alternativa más coloquial, o "pequeño empujón".
