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.
Ahh, the Texas demisyllable…
i’m from texas, and i just say pinch? ha
@suzyq2463 and lefteh- it’s called dipthongization, actually. just btdubs.
And I wholeheartedly agree with laxrrockr18.
uhhhhhh..ummmm….mmmm…am I dreaming?
@KrystaElyse…+5 but shame on you for a commercial.
albeit a funny one
@Blondesjon – Hahaha. When I saw this question, I immediately remembered this commercial :P
Oh and I just found this funny one too.
A pinch to grow an inch. Rhyming.
“Peench” sounds like something Inspector Clouseau would say.
@KrystaElyse I had never seen that. Great ad.
Peenches? We don’t need no steenking peenches.
One syllable. Short i, not “ee.”
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.”
