If you think water is incompressible, you’re not trying hard enough.

    I've always hated "incompressible" when talking about fluids. It's just shorthand for: doesn't compress much under pressure.

    In engineering unless you're dealing with insane pressures, when something is "incompressible", assuming it is is good enough.

    But it's still misleading so I don't like it haha
