crunch
Celery-chewing sound
Crunch is the sharp, grinding sound of something being crushed or bitten—the crunch of gravel underfoot, the crunch of an apple.
The verb means to crush noisily or to process data intensively: number crunching.
A crunch is also a critical moment of pressure or shortage: a budget crunch, crunch time.
In fitness, a crunch is an abdominal exercise.
Crunchy describes texture or, informally, someone with earthy, granola-eating sensibilities.
