If a dog bites, a bee stings, what does a crab do? Pinch?? I think that's wrong... Anyone? Can't remember the word...
 
A crab nips, Bart.

thanks! :) so, is pinch wrong? should it never be used?
 
Not a teacher.

I would say a crab pinches. A "nip" to me is a small bite.
 
Thanks Rover and Soothing Dave! :)
