Pinch and scratch (4)
I believe the answer is:
nick
I believe this is a double definition.
'pinch' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'scratch' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for nick that I've seen before include "A small indentation" , "Small cut; steal" , "Minor injury" , "where thieves are" , "Thieve" .)
