Crossword Genius

Bag pressure - that hurts! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pouch

'bag' is the definition.
(I know that pouch is a more specific form of the action bag)

'pressure that hurts' is the wordplay.
'pressure' becomes 'p' (abbreviation).
'that hurts' becomes 'ouch'.
'p'+'ouch'='POUCH'

(Other definitions for pouch that I've seen before include "Container for tobacco or young" , "Marsupial's baby carrier" , "Kangaroo's pocket" , "Bag" , "joey's home" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
