Squirt

To eject a liquid or substance in a thin, forceful stream or jet, or to cause something to do so. This can apply to fluids from a body or a container. It often implies a sudden, quick release. Figuratively, it can also mean a small or insignificant person. The action typically suggests a lack of control or precision in the ejection or expulsion of the substance.
