ShadoeDansir She parked so close that I was squoze between the car door and the truck next to us and couldn't get out. Jun 9, 2009
yarb "Don't tell me you snuck into father's laboratory!"

npydyuan It's a very cute word. Especially in umpteen-point Palatino, as it is. Sassy, yet authoritative, yet ridiculous. Oct 26, 2007
reesetee Excellent, rocks. This only adds more proof to my claim that madeupical words are sometimes better than real ones. :-) Oct 26, 2007
chained_bear So it's only in past tense, but it's also only transitive and active?
Yeah. I like it. Oct 26, 2007
rocksinmypockets Yes, I've always used it as the past tense of squeeze. It just fits better than squeezed in most cases (an exception being "squeezed in between").
Examples:
"Who squoze the juice?"
"She squoze all the water from the washcloth."
"I squoze my eyes shut." (But I'd still say, "My eyes were squeezed shut.")

yarb It works. Oct 26, 2007
sionnach We need more strong verbs in English! Oct 26, 2007
chained_bear It works well as the past tense of squeeze. As in, "I squoze a lemon into my tea." Oct 26, 2007
yarb What is it? Is it like squeeze? Oct 26, 2007
chained_bear I'm with you, rocks. This is an awesome word.
Actually, I mistyped word as "worrd," and decided that's a good one too. So thanks! Oct 26, 2007
rocksinmypockets I've been saying this all my life. I totally believed it was unmadeupical until a few years ago when multiple friends started hassling me to produce a published dictionary definition.
I've been pouting ever since. Oct 26, 2007
