Wikipedia
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. Like many American films of the time, Pinched was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. The Chicago Board of Censors required a cut of scene with a man thumbing his nose.

pinched
Pinched primarily refers to the action of firmly squeezing or gripping something, typically with one's fingers or a tool. This term is often used to depict the act of taking something small or the action of compressing or narrowing something. 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.
