smoosh
Press until deformed
Smoosh is to squash or press something soft, flattening or deforming it: She smooshed the banana into the batter.
The word suggests gentle pressure rather than violent crushing—you smoosh a bug, but you'd crush a can.
Smoosh can also mean to press things together affectionately: They smooshed their faces together for a selfie.
Also spelled smoush or squoosh.
