squooshed

Squashed down soft

Squooshed is an informal past tense and participle of squoosh, a playful blend of squash and smoosh that emphasizes the soft, yielding quality of compression.

Something squooshed has been pressed or flattened in a way that suggests pliability rather than destruction: The cupcakes got squooshed in my bag.

The word often appears in contexts involving affection or gentle handling, as when someone squooshed a pet's face or squooshed into a tight hug.
