Pinch, in internet slang, refers to copying or stealing someone else’s content without proper credit or permission. It is commonly used when someone takes someone else’s ideas, jokes, memes, or any other form of digital content and presents it as their own without giving due credit.
Examples:
1. Sarah posted an amazing photograph on her blog, but a few days later, she saw the exact same picture uploaded by someone else on another website. She commented, “Hey, did you really take this picture, or did you just pinch it from my blog?”
2. John was known for his witty tweets, but he noticed that lately, someone had been pinching his jokes and sharing them on their own account without mentioning him. He tweeted, “I see you snatching my jokes, not cool! Give credit where it’s due, dude!”
