follow up on pinchi (ピンチ)
Just a follow up on ピンチ--
As was noted in the entry for yabai, ピンチだ！ can be used for "I'm in a pinch" / "I'm in trouble." Additionally there's
ピンチに立つ ( ピンチにたつ )
ピンチ is also the word for clothespin.
And of course, ピンチヒッター is pinch hitter. For the movie The Sitter, when they renamed it for the Japanese market, they did a play on words, Pinch Sitter ( ピンチシッター ).
