A generally metallic device used to pluck eyebrows or nose hairs. Also known as squeezers due to the fact that you squeeze them together in order to grab the hair to pluck.


Alternatively, a crab or lobster has pincers or claws which they use to grab and tear objects with, such as food.

When cooked, crab pincers are edible. Crab pincers are also known as scissors and have a very high strength, capable of snapping bone.

Lobster pincer 

An extremely complicated but yet rewarding chess move, where a player successfully checks the enemy player's king and forces checkmate in the next move. The tactic must have two offensive attackers (i.e a queen and a pawn) that together synergize into a victory. The move is developed by chess grandmaster, Félix "xQc" Lengyel, and is a part of the Bing-Bang-Boom chess philosophy with other strategies such as the wooden shield. It takes years of studying to master this phenomenal move, as not even artificial intelligence computers such AlphaZero or LeelaZero have the ability to find a counter move to the lobster pincer.

5Head: *With material down, plays the lobster pincer*
3000-rated player: *Instantly resigns as there's no possible way to avoid the checkmate*

Peter Pinchers 

Is when a male is wearing shorts that are SOO short and tight that it pinches the dick and nut sack area. Opposite of "coochie cutters" as when a female wears "booty shorts" or tight tight shorts therefore cutting into the vagina area.
"Girl did you see his dick and nuts in those peter pinchers he's wearing"?

"Yes you could tell he was 2 inches soft and he shaves!"

half pincer

A term used by "Hannibal" Smith as a euphemism for a frontal assault. Used by The A-Team in nearly all engagements.

A "pincer" maneuver involves a force splitting into two and attacking the enemy from both sides, thus a "half pincer" logically means the force attacks the enemy from only one side.
Hannibal - "Now, the plan is your basic straight-on surprise hit-n-run attack. If anything goes sour, we split-up and rendezvous at the drop zone. Got it?"

BA - "This ain't much of a plan, Hannibal."

Hannibal - "Are you kidding? It's a classic! It's your half pincer movement inside a guarded perimeter. Tried and true, BA!"

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
