You wouldn’t be able to press a gas with your foot though.

I can imagine a scenario where you a gas is encased in a volume that you can reduce by stepping on it with your foot, thus pressurizing it.

There's this Finnish joke that doesn't translate well, about a physicist who got pulled over by police. "Uh, I guess I accelerated a bit."

Tap for spoiler(A particle accelerator is a machine that accelerates little bits. Do you get it now?)
