1. 1

    Something squashy is soft enough that it gives way when you press it, and changes shape as it does. A squashy cushion, a squashy sofa, a squashy tomato, squashy mud under your shoes. The feeling is pleasant more often than not — a squashy is one you sink into — but it turns negative with food, where squashy usually means or crushed: 'the peaches at the bottom of the bag had gone squashy.' It is an informal, rather British-sounding word, common in children's books and in talking about furniture and fruit. It describes how a thing feels under your hand or your body, so it works best for things you touch. Note the related but different squishy, which is nearly the same and even more informal, and often adds the idea of wetness or a small sound. If a student says squishy where a book says squashy, nobody will be confused.

    軟綿綿的;一壓就凹的。像軟沙發、爛掉的水果那種手感。
