Comment: "Thanks, everyone. 'Wringing' is the term I am looking for, so I'll give the points to Billy since he came up with the term first. 'Mangling' is also correct in this context. It is a UK term; 'wringing' is a US term (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wringer)."

Wenjer Leuschel (X)
: Yes, mangling could be the right word for it. I was thinking of the German word "Ausquetschen" and that is either sqeezing or mangling, depending on interpretation.
