Squished

To compress or crush something, often with a flattening or distortion of its shape, due to pressure or force. The term implies a reduction in volume, potentially causing something to break, leak, or become integrated within another substance. The action may be intentional, as in making a juice with fruit, or unintentional, as in stepping on a bug. The resulting condition can be permanent, reversible, or even temporary. The process can happen quickly as a sudden event or more slowly over time from continuous forces like the settling of soil or something being trapped inside something else.
