squeeze up
Shift closer together
Squeeze up means to move closer together to make room for others, typically on a bench, sofa, or in a crowded space: Can you squeeze up a bit so Sarah can sit down?
The phrase is more common in British than American English, where *squeeze together* or *scoot over* might be used instead.
