The art of beating anybody in anything. Clowning is the term one wishes to use when expressing the utmost dominance. Can be used in a similar fashion as words such as "pwning".
Marquette clowned on Notre Dame last week at Notre Dame.

Texas got clowned on by Kansas State the other day.

UConn is clowning on Louisville right now.

A wack muthafucka and/or a straight up moron. Someone who is a complete joke to everyone around them. People labelled as clowns are so wack or stupid that no one takes them seriously and just laughs at them, just like a circus clown. If you get called a clown and you're not an actual circus clown, you must respond with instant hostility or else you might as well join the circus.
Guy #1: That guy always says he's the biggest gangsta and balla out there, but he just collects welfare and never even did a crime.
Guy #2: Yeah, he ain't nothing but a fucking clown.

Guy #3: I wanted to rob a store with my boys, but they kept convincing me to rob my girlfriend's house instead. I just wanted to fit in with the group so I just followed along.
Guy #4: You for real? You're a bigger clown than I thought.

Guy #5: Hey bro, someone at the club called me a clown the other night.
Guy #6: Did you stand up for yourself at least? If not, you might as well join the circus muthafucka, I ain't chillin with someone labelled as a complete joke who can't be taken for real.
