Common mistake:
Learners often confuse "squirt" with "spray" or "pour". Use "squirt" for a quick, narrow stream of liquid, usually from a bottle or small opening; use "spray" for many tiny drops over a wider area, and "pour" for a steady flow.
Meaning
to send out liquid quickly
Collocations
squirt water
|squirt ketchup
|squirt cream
|squirt perfume
|squirt it in
|squirt onto
Synonyms
spray (Often suggests many very small drops spread over a wider area, not one narrow stream.)
|
squeeze out (Focuses more on pressing the container, without highlighting the fast, narrow stream.)
Antonyms
absorb (Takes liquid in instead of sending it out.)
