squeeze out

Expel with pressure

To squeeze out is to extract something by applying pressure: squeeze out the last bit of toothpaste.

Figuratively, it means to force someone or something from a position, often through competitive pressure or manipulation: Small shops are being squeezed out by big chains.

You can also squeeze out a narrow victory or barely manage to produce something: She squeezed out a few more words before collapsing.
