Question 3

Is "press out" formal or informal?

Accepted Answer

"press out" is register-neutral — appropriate in both casual and formal contexts. Used in two main contexts: removing wrinkles from fabric (similar to ironing) and extracting liquid or shapes by applying pressure (e.g., in cooking or manufacturing). Also used in crafts — pressing out shapes from dough or clay. The object typically falls between 'press' and 'out' when it is a pronoun ('press it out').
