    I've never heard or seen "pushar" in Spain. It sounds like made-up Spanglish.

  • "Pushar" it's totally an Spanglish term made up and used by Mexicans in the USA. It straight comes from the Enlgish verb 'to push(empujar)'.

I think you are trying to say "PUJAR". Pujar, from the verb "Empuja" meaning push in english, is used in Spanish when we are related to an expulsion of something out of a body, mostly our bodies. Therefore is commonly used for women giving birth and people who are expulsing a kidney stone for example. "Empujar" is used as to push something outside of our bodies.

    Not to be confused with the verb "pujar" which means "to bid" (offering money at an auction).
