going like the clappers

anything which appears to be going fast or repetitvly.
from either the loose hammers inside churchbells, or an old shrove tuesday custom involving begging by clapping stones together

Go like the clappers

A person usually a lady who is an epic shag for reasons unknown

Posh girls have good manners, but they go like the clappers because they never got to hang around with boys at school
