Pinch, unless I’m doing my René Lévesque impression, in which case it is the latter.

In Texas we say “peeeunch” because we like to make one syllable words two (or more) syllables.

A pinch to grow an inch. Rhyming.

“Peench” sounds like something Inspector Clouseau would say.

@KrystaElyse I had never seen that. Great ad.

I only say “Peench” when I yan espeakin Espanish. Otherwise it is “pinch.” Or maybe “peenchay” if I don’t like you, as in “pinche gringo.”
