Smushed

To 'smush' something means to crush, squash, or flatten it, often unintentionally. It implies a forceful act that results in a change of shape, usually rendering the object damaged or deformed. The action frequently involves pressure or impact, leading to a reduction in volume and a loss of structural integrity. This can apply to both solid and soft materials, from a fragile flower to a resilient piece of clay. The resulting state signifies a flattened, compressed, or mangled form. The impact can result in loss of form and the object being considered no longer whole.
