crunching
Crushing underfoot sound
Crunching is the sound or action of crushing something brittle—leaves crunching underfoot, teeth crunching through an apple.
Extended to processing large amounts of data or numbers: We spent the weekend crunching the quarterly figures.
The word suggests intensive, mechanical effort: number crunching, data crunching.
Something crunching can also be closing in threateningly: a deadline crunching toward us.
