Gasses or liquids that move along a pressure gradient can exert forces on objects. Objects can only be pushed by gases or liquids. The correct terminology used depends on whether they are pushed from a pressurized zone towards ambient pressure (blown out) or from ambient pressure towards a low

decreases the pressure inside, creating an imbalance with the ambient air pressure, resulting in suction. Similarly, when a straw is used to suck a liquid into the mouth, the atmospheric pressure pushes the liquid through the straw along the pressure gradient.
292:. If all gas or fluid is removed the result is a perfect vacuum in which the pressure is zero. Hence, no negative pressure forces can be generated. Accordingly, from a physics point of view, the objects are not sucked but pushed. 273:
