eeked
Squeezed out narrowly
Eeked is the past tense of eek, meaning to squeeze out or obtain with difficulty.
You eek out a living when you barely scrape by, or eek out a victory when you win by the narrowest margin: They eeked out a one-point win in overtime.
The spelling eke is more traditional, but eek—influenced by the exclamation—has become common.
