Button mashing (a.k.a. button bashing) is a term used in console gaming contexts to refer to quick, repeated, and generally random button pressings. It is a technique most commonly employed in two genres of games, athletic, where faster button mashing translates into better athlete performance, and in fighting games, where the technique is used often out of desperation, due to unfamiliarity with the controls and/or players relying on barraging the opponent with random blows (and the occasional accidental special move) to win, or just because the "masher" either likes the reaction he/she gets while mashing, or because they want a better chance of winning. Takahashi Meijin is considered to be the fastest button masher in the world, with a record of 16 presses of a button in one second.Wikipedia
Though this "mashing" can refer to mashing a single button, most of the time when we talk about button mashing, we're refering to random bashing.
Spamming a single skill can be considered mashing, but i believe people actually think(or at least know what skill they are choosing and using) when they spam. Example: you probably wont spam a close range skill when the enemy is miles away.
