If you play with words you notice that 'pinch' seems to have a thin, spiteful vowel sound, 'peach' is much more round and juicy.

Isn't it fun how language brings with it all sorts of overtones from past experience and reading.
Do you suppose strong peachpunch would pack a punch (is that where the drink got its name?)?
