I know what they mean. I can't tell whether a word is used or archaic.

I will connect you to the WiFi.
he conned me, and stole my money.
I clutch my bag out of fear.
I staggered home after a night of drinking.
I nudge my way through the crowd (not sure I use this correctly)
I don't know any common expressions with these words.

@angeluzica I've been told that to clutch the verb is not commonly used. Is that true? There are to squeeze, to grip, to grasp, to grab. What is the difference?

@beiar hmm... clutch is more of a desperate hold on something. But you are right I don't think it is all that common. it is not unusual, but not common.
grip would be holding something so tightly your knuckles turn white.
hold is just holding it.
and grab, is more of a action. like picking up your coat before leaving. "I'll just grab my coat", not something you'd use to describe holding an item.
squeeze is sort of like grip, but typically used for a soft item. like squeezing a pillow or teddy bear. you would not use sqeeze with a hard item, like a bike.

I'd say that all of these verbs are used except for "to con." It would probably be more typical to use "to trick" or "to fool."
Maybe in speaking more people would say "to hold onto" than "to clutch" and "to push" more often than "to nudge" just because people tend to use smaller vocabularies when talking. Having a big vocabulary is a good thing though, so feel free to use those words. "To clutch" and "to nudge" are more specific than the other verbs I just mentioned, so there would definitely be times when those verbs would be the better ones.
"I connected my computer to the speaker."
"He was walking down the hall quite normally when all of a sudden he clutched at his chest and fell to the floor."
"He staggered under the weight of the boxes."
"I was lost in thought when my sister nudged me in the arm and pointed out the parade coming around the corner."
"The bed wasn't completely against the wall, so I nudged it a bit closer."
