mooshing
Mashing into paste
Mooshing is squashing or pressing something soft into a shapeless mass.
You might moosh bananas for bread, moosh your face into a pillow, or moosh clay between your fingers.
The word suggests gentle, satisfying compression rather than violent force: The toddler spent ten minutes mooshing Play-Doh through her fingers.
Also spelled mushing.
