squat

Thighs-parallel leg exercise

To squat is to crouch with your feet on the ground and your legs bent all the way.

Another way to squat is to occupy a property that does not belong to you, without paying rent.

Such a property is sometimes called a squat.

A squat can also be an instance of squatting, on your heels; some exercises that incorporate this movement are called squats.

The adjective squat means thick and relatively short.

In slang, squat can mean anything or nothing: You don’t know squat.
