Shove yourself

Suppose there is a student sitting at the extreme right end of a bench, causing to be seated very closely to another student sitting at extreme left end in the adjoining bench.

Can I say "Shove yourself to the right end".

"Slide yourself up to the right end"


Are these sentences correct?

Is there any other way to state that.

  • Why can't he just move a foot or so?
  • Anyway, "shove yourself to" and "slide yourself up to" are not natural in my US dialect.

Anyway, "shove yourself to" and "slide yourself up to" are not natural in my US dialect. You can say "shove over", meaning to move sideways to make room. "Shove over" is brusque except among friends.

"Shove" is exceedingly rude.

Can you slide over a little bit?
Can you move a bit from the edge?
