squeezing in
Making room somehow
Squeezing in means fitting something into a tight space or schedule, often with some effort or difficulty.
If you squeeze in a meeting, you find time for it despite an already full calendar.
Physically, you might squeeze in between two people on a crowded bench.
The phrase suggests that what's being added barely fits but manages to make it: I can squeeze in a quick lunch if we meet at noon.
