smush
Press together casually
Smush means to squash or press something into a flattened, compressed, or distorted shape: The cake got smushed in my bag, She smushed her face against the window.
It's informal and suggests softer, messier compression than crush—more playful than violent.
Smushing often implies something that was already soft becoming softer or more shapeless.
