  1. Pinched

    Pinched is a 1917 American short comedy film starring Harold Lloyd. A print of the film is held by the Museum of Modern Art, and it has been released on DVD.

However, in a more colloquial sense, it can also mean to steal or to be arrested by the police. It's worth noting that context plays a strong role in determining the exact meaning.
