squishes

Presses into pulp

Squishes is the third-person singular of squish, meaning to press or crush something soft so it deforms or flattens: She squishes the clay between her fingers.

As a plural noun, squishes are instances of squishing or the sounds produced: the squishes of wet boots on linoleum.

In youth slang, squishes are intense platonic attractions—crushes without the romantic element.
