  • Related突き込むつきこむNeutralA verb: to thrust something forcefully into something, or to charge or plunge in; the forceful, stabbing counterpart to pushing in.
  • Antonym引き出しひきだしNeutralA drawer, or withdrawing money; it only runs opposite to pushing in — out instead of in — so not a strict antonym.

「押し込み」means forcing something in; as 「押し込み強盗」 it also means a home-invading burglar, and it once meant a closet (now 「押し入れ」). For stuffing full use 「詰め込む」; for thrusting in, 「突っ込む」. The antonyms merely reverse the direction of movement.
