squirted

German
Persian
Russian
Spanish
squirt

A squirt is a small amount of liquid that comes out quickly and suddenly.

You probably know what I mean when someone says "Oh no, I've got a squirt of water on my shirt!" It usually happens when you're getting dressed or doing something with water. The word can also be used to describe the act of spraying a small amount of liquid - for example, squirting yourself with sunscreen before going out into the sun. Sometimes people use it in a more playful way too, like saying "I just got squirted by a kid's water gun!" It's a fun and informal word that's easy to understand, even if you're not from an English-speaking country.
