How it's used
Describes a sudden, uncontrollable flow of liquid, often implying a large volume or a messy outcome. While it can refer to water, it is also the standard term for diarrhea when paired with 肚. It carries a sense of gravity or force, distinguishing it from simply spilling something small.
Examples
Why did you spill all the soda on the floor?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 倒, which is the general verb for pouring or dumping something intentionally. 瀉 implies an accidental, rapid, or overwhelming release of liquid.
