To crush or flatten. Could also be what grandma’s do to their grandchildren’s facial cheeks. When they press them with their hand to make a cute face.

This is a slang term, used for kids. It is to smash, mix-up, swish, mash and swirl. Like kids do in making craft projects.

A slang word for "squish" or "squeeze". Similar to "shmush".
1. Smoosh together so I can fit you all in the picture.
2. If you smoosh in, I can get in the car.
3. My favourite camping food is s'mores. It's when you smoosh chocolate and melted marshmallow between two graham crackers.

@alstroganova in addition to all the other comments, you may have heard the character Jake Peralta from Brooklyn 99 use it to mean 'have sex'. This is a childish (but humorous) idiosyncrasy and is based on the main meaning that others have mentioned here.

@cme4pif@Yoongi28@DefinitelyNot thank you guys. can it be a noun? I came across the sentence "I'll miss you smoosh! " Does it make any sense to you?
- English (US)
Pet name. Weird one at that.

@TammyC oh, thank you so much. so, "to smoosh" can also imply "to mix" if I understood correctly, right? can it be a noun as I wrote above? like "I'll miss you smoosh"?

I was going to say I've heard used as a term of affection, but it's not as common. It's like saying "kiss", like you are giving them a kiss, but with words.

@alstroganova like others have mentioned it could be a pet name, but not really a normal one. Like if I heard someone say "I miss you smoosh" (to another adult), I would roll my eyes because it's sounds strange and overly cutesy but it's not 'ungrammatical' per se.
