squirm 拼写像 squiggle（扭动）加 worm（虫）：像虫子一样扭动，也指尴尬时局促不安地扭动。
语域：mixed 常见场景：describing a child fidgeting or an animal moving、relating discomfort, shame, or embarrassment、evading a question in an interview or conversation squirm 的语域随含义和使用场合变化：字面义“扭动”和因尴尬而扭动通常属中性，多用于日常口语和叙述；用于“回避问题”的含义时多带口语色彩，比较常见于非正式表达。请结合具体搭配和语境选择。
All of these words contain the same vowel sound as the target's stressed vowel, so worm, term, and firm are true rhymes. Bird, squirt, and first are lookalikes: they share the 'ir' spelling (and 'squ' in squirt) but end in different consonant sounds /d/, /t/, /st/, so they don't rhyme with squirm.
