ply someone with something

Reader's Digest 5月号の記事 WHERE THE @#$% AM I? からの引用です。

4/12/2013 に取り上げた "selfies" は今では誰でも知っている単語ですが、10年前にはなかった単語ですね。
ところで "ply" は過去の２度（7/31/2012と6/24/2011）取り上げていますが、上の引用文の "ply" はそのどちらの意味とも違うようです。辞書を見ます。

・Cambridge English Dictionary: to keep giving a person something, usually food or drink: John's been plying me with drinks all evening.
・Collins Dictionary: If you ply someone with food or drink, you keep giving them more of it.: The poor priest was plied with drink at a dinner party.
"ply someone with something" は食べ物や飲み物だけではなく、質問攻めなどでも使われるとも書かれています。
If you ply someone with questions, you keep asking them questions.
