squooshy
Yields when pressed
Squooshy describes something soft and yielding that compresses satisfyingly when pressed or squeezed.
It's an informal, playful variant of squishy, with the added vowel suggesting even more give or mushiness.
The word often characterizes pillows, stuffed animals, or overripe fruit—anything that invites squeezing.
The bread dough was perfectly squooshy between my fingers.
