You can't find a definition because it isn't a word.
You're thinking of "squelch":

Dropping the "s" has apparently become a common mistake quite a few people are making.

Yay thesaurus!
Main Entry: Squelch
Part of Speech: verb
Definition: suppress
Synonyms: black out, censure, crush, extinguish, kibosh, kill, muffle, oppress, quelch, quench, repress, restrain, settle, shush, sit on, smother, squash, stifle, strangle, thwart
See? All the urban dictionary definitions might as well be saying one of the three definitions of Squelch or its synonym for each of their following scenarios. "Quelch marks" could easily be Squish-marks or etc. "Quelching" the dead bodies just means crushing or squashing their torso to induce vomiting (heimlich maneuver.).

That's pretty gross.
I've used "quelch" as in "put out" (like quelch the flame). I don't see the problem. Hell, if "D'oh" can enter the dictionary, why not quelch? Language has always evolved with time; there's nothing wrong with legitamizing a bastardized word if it's used often enough.

It already is. And you'd better know what "I'm like" means if you visit any high school 
Think about it: how much slang do you run across every day? A lot of those words aren't in the dictionary. Would the universe collapse if they were? And think about how confusing it is for someone who doesn't speak English as a first language. They come here, and hear all of this slang, and have absolutely no way of figuring out what it means. Let's help them out and put this stuff in the dictionary
Seriously, if language never changed, we'd still be saying "ye", "thou", and "hither".

Fo' Sho, all that and a bag of chips shorty!. They should be like preachin it in schools, ya know what i'm sayin?
My girlfriend works at a call centre for a cell phone company, and all day long she gets calls from people that have a form of Ebonics with different slang for everything. It confuses her even more when they're like "yo, hang up my phone!" when they really mean "connect my phone" not, disconnect it.
