| Example: Whether sharing stories or secrets, clishmaclaver keeps the exchange playful. |
| Origin of 1720–30; clish(-clash) gossip (gradational compound based on clash -see titans ) + -ma- (< ?) + claver(cut in two) – Scottish annunciation |
| How to use: When I was a wee lil’ lad my father told me tales of clishmaclaver about a young gal who’s forked tongue would cut men in two. |
