SQUISHING Meaning and
Definition
-
Squishing is an action verb that refers to the act of pressing, compressing, or crushing something with force, resulting in a squelching, squashing, or flattening effect. It commonly describes the specific action of applying pressure onto an object or substance, causing it to deform, flatten, or become compacted.
Typically, squishing involves a combination of physical force and pressure, usually exerted by hands or other objects, to alter the shape or texture of the subject matter. It often implies a soft, malleable, or flexible nature of the object being squished, such as dough, mud, clay, or a cushion.
Squishing can be intentional, such as kneading dough or molding clay, as in sculpting or pottery. In a playful context, squishing might be associated with the act of stepping or jumping on something, like a pile of leaves or a muddy puddle, for enjoyment or to create a satisfying sensation. Additionally, it could refer to applying pressure to a soft or pliable object to extract liquid or juice from it, as done when squeezing a lemon or a stress ball.
The term "squishing" can also be used metaphorically to describe the feeling of being compressed or overwhelmed, whether emotionally, mentally, or physically. In this sense, it conveys a sense of being constrained, restricted, or under pressure, resulting in a sense of discomfort or unease.
