It's not a term that is used often in TV golf commentary. However, the "P" club, which in a full set is lofted one club more than a 9-iron is the "Pitching Wedge".
Something in the neighborhood of 40yards down to 10 yards might be referred to as a "pitch". The exact distances are not specific.

Actually, to be technical, the distance doesn't matter. A "chip" is defined as a short shot that rolls >50% of the distance: a "pitch" travels >50% in the air.
