Crossword Genius

Cuts or pinches (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nicks

This clue is a double definition.

'cuts' is the first definition.
(nick is a kind of cut)

'pinches' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for nicks that I've seen before include "Steals (sl.)" , "US singer "Stevie"" , "chips" , "Notches - arrests" , "Pinches or makes a small cut" .)
