To force out or come forth in a jet; squirt.
To make a sudden and extreme effort.
A sudden gush of liquid.
An extraordinary effort of brief duration.
Then a gasp went up, a gasp of wonder, while here and there a quick spurt of blood in the face or a brilliant gleam of the eye told of quickened heart beats and the grip of that excitement which man never lived who could fight down altogether. – Wolf Breed by Jackson Gregory
