What is squeezed is something that gets pushed together, like when you squish a juice box and it makes squeaky noises.
Imagine you have a big, soft pillow. When you sit on it, your body pushes down, and the pillow gets smaller, it’s being squeezed! The air or stuffing inside has less space to move around because something is pressing on it.
