Koohii stories:

1) [Raichu] 8-4-2007(163): You have trouble squeezing your hand through the hole so you use a saw to enlarge it.

2) [Spidercat] 27-3-2008(99): (Thanks DrJones) You squeeze the teats of the cow with your fingers but it's your first try and you don't have any milk come through the holes, so you take a saw and cut the teats to make bigger holes. Poor cow, this story squeezes my heart.

3) [Nukemarine] 29-3-2008(94): Very simple visual image makes this an easy kanji to remember. Just picture that you SQUEEZE your FINGERS going through the HOLE in the handle of the SAW. You then SQUEEZE your FINGERS tight to use the SAW to cut a HOLE.

4) [mantixen] 22-9-2008(43): To squeeze is to hold something tight (#2614 窄) in your fingers.

5) [Cheesemaster64] 20-5-2009(29): Oh no! You cut a hole in your finger with a saw! Squeeze your finger to stop the bleeding!!
