You are adding to Pinch. What is already there stays, we only add yours.

Your voice

Say it out loud, 3 to 60 seconds. Reading it is not the same as hearing it.

Explain in a street-style audio what it means and give an example of how it is used. That is all we need.

How does it sound?
Where is it said? Where the expression is used, which need not be only your own patch.

Real-life examples
  • Someone’s pinched my sandwich again from the staff fridge. If Dave strolls in chewing like nothing happened, I’m labelling everything and watching him.
  • Somebody has pinched the last digestive biscuit from the office kitchen tin at the South London branch of the accountancy firm, and the receptionist has now stuck a passive-aggressive note on the cupboard door warning that the next round of snacks is being charged at three pounds a pack.
  • My uncle pinched the last sausage from the Sunday breakfast plate at the family caravan in Skegness, my dad has been complaining ever since, and the family WhatsApp group has filed the incident under the heading betrayal at the seaside.
  • Oi, who pinched my lighter? It was right here two seconds ago and now it's done a magic trick.
  • She pinched one of my chips, gave me a sweet little smile, then acted like that cancelled the crime.
The way it is really said, not the way a dictionary would say it.
