squishiness
Plush, giving quality
Squishiness is the quality of being soft and yielding to pressure, like a ripe tomato or a foam pillow.
The word extends to anything lacking firmness or definition: the squishiness of his arguments, the squishiness of the budget numbers.
Something with squishiness compresses easily and may not hold its shape.
