A "pinch" is just that... such as a pinch of salt in a recipe. I was told at one point that a Pinch works out to about 1/8th of a teaspoon, but it's probably even a little less than that.
To do "a pinch of salt", one would pinch some salt between their fingers and put it in the recipe.

A "pinch" is typically used for dry measurement, but it is obviously not a standard way of measuring. Even on wikianswers, people have said a "pinch" equals 1/16th of a teaspoon... up to 1/8th of a teaspoon. Therefore, there is no real consensus about what exactly is a "pinch". It is taught by moms by showing the amount of sugar or flour a person can hold between the thumb and index finger... therefore, everyone's amount of "just a pinch" can vary greatly. A man's fingers, being bigger, would hold more than a woman's fingers, and a teen's or child's fingers would hold less than the pinch an adult woman could hold between her thumb and index finger. Again, a pinch or a teaspoon is typically for DRY ingredients. DROPS or teaspoons would be for liquids. It would be impossible to measure a "pinch of any liquid".
