scootch
Move a bit
Scootch means to move a short distance, typically while seated, by sliding or shuffling: Scootch over so I can sit down.
It can also mean to crouch or squeeze into a tight space: She scootched down in her seat to avoid being seen.
The word is informal and often implies a small, somewhat awkward adjustment of position.
