Squoosh
Squoosh! It's stretching!
The one who said that is watching rubber material getting stretched to its limit. Is this word just like "oops", "Whoa"? Because I don't think it is related to the verb squash or squeeze. I know there is no context. But I hope you could help with it.
Thanks in advance,

: Yes, the idea of the 'squishy' nature of rubber, and the sound one imagines it might make when stretched
