squooshes

Presses into softness

Squooshes is the third-person singular of squoosh, a playful variant of squish that emphasizes soft, yielding compression.

Something squooshes when it flattens or spreads under pressure: The mud squooshes between your toes.

The word suggests a satisfying, slightly messy give—softer and wetter than a mere squish.
