pinched

sounding as if the nose were pinched

• “a whining nasal voice”

very thin especially from disease or hunger or cold

• “emaciated bony hands”
• “a nightmare population of gaunt men and skeletal boys”
• “eyes were haggard and cavernous”
• “small pinched faces”
• “kept life in his wasted frame only by grim concentration”

not having enough money to pay for necessities

as if squeezed uncomfortably tight

• “her pinched toes in her pointed shoes were killing her”
