pinch

1 I want to tell him his dad is an idiot, but I pinch my lips together and don’t say anything.

2 No more cheek- pinching women who resembled Melina Mercouri in her later years.

3 Jonas pulled at his striped shirt as if the collar was pinching him.

4 “What time is it?” she whispered, and he pinched her arm.

5 the pinch of my favorite sweater really bugged me!

6 She released me, stood back, and pinched my cheeks.

7 Grandpa chuckles and lightly pinches my cheek before turning back to the conversation.

11 He grabbed her nose and pinched it closed, and try as she might, she could not dislodge his fingers.

12 He clicked the light on, and I pinched my eyes shut at the sudden brightness.

18 In the one full-length mirror in ladies’ wear, a medium-tall figure is hunched over a cart, her face pinched in absurd concentration—surely not me.

19 He suffered from the pinch of his tight shoes.

他受鞋紧挤痛之苦.

20 ...a pinch of nutmeg.
