What is a squish?

A squish can refer to a few different things depending on the context.

In the context of relationships or identities, a squish is a platonic crush or an intense desire for emotional connection and friendship with someone. So, it's like having a "friend crush" instead of a romantic one.

In the context of mechanics or engineering, a squish usually refers to the process of compressing a fuel-air mixture inside an engine cylinder in order to achieve optimal combustion. This can lead to improved engine efficiency and performance.

In general usage, "squish" can also refer to a soft, smushed or flattened object or material, such as a squished fruit or a squishy stress ball.
