smooshing
Crushing something soft
Smooshing is pressing or squeezing something soft until it flattens or deforms: The kids were smooshing their faces against the window.
It suggests gentle, playful compression rather than violent force—you smoosh a cupcake, not a car.
The word can describe affectionate physical contact: We spent the morning smooshing on the couch.
Also spelled smushing.
