When you spill your beverage into your keyboard and instead of draining it out, like a normal person, you continue typing like nothing happened much to the bemusement of those who witnessed the spill. Squishy Typing is no delicate matter and practitioners usually have an “Own It!” type mentality. Squishy Typers never tickle the keyboard like an Elmo doll on the cold Christmas morning of 1996. Rather, they opt to pound the keys with the renewed vigor of a frustrated Ludwig van Beethoven raging at the heavens during a tsunami.

Levi: I'd like to be sympathetic, but I'm too busy laughing. Hopefully, it was a cheap-o, wired keyboard?
Jo: It is. It's a work keyboard so I’m just squishy typing now.
Levi: I smell a UD entry. Squishy Typing
Jo: Ew Ew!! I'll get Darren on it.
Jo: Confession: I may have baited you into the UD recommendation so I could incorporate our conversation into the example...
Levi: Haha. That makes sense.
Darren: Done.
