Nick; pinch (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swipe

This clue is a double definition.

'nick' is the first definition.
(I know that swipe is a type of nick)

'pinch' is the second definition.
(I know that pinch can be written as swipe)

(Other definitions for swipe that I've seen before include "Pass (card) through an electronic reader" , "Pilfer" , "Hit; criticism" , "Wipes away with a blow" , "Steal; pass a card through a reader" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
