Cluck is one of the many euphemisms in use, to describe going cold turkey ,a sudden stoppage of the addictive drug heroin and other opiates and opioids (e.g morhine, methadone, codiene, Fentanyl, opium and many more, marketed pain killers)
The term, cluck derivates from the term cold turkey, owing to the fact that when withdrawing from these drugs, one of the many withdrawal symptoms include goosebumps, like those on a plucked turkey. ** In the song 'Cold Turkey' by John Lennon, there is a lyric; "...Goose Pimple Bones" **
Too be fussy, the word should really be gobble as that's the sound turkeys make, but, as you may, or may not, know; gobble has taken on a different meaning..
There are many, many euphemisms for withdrawing from heroin/opiates etc., but others relevent to turkey/cluck are: to roast or roasting, clucking, spitting feathers and being oven ready!
That's where cluck comes from! Not crack!, although clucking has become a generic term for withdrawing from any addictive substace - as cold turkey has also done. But (as explained above) they originate from opoid withdrawal symptoms.

I had used up my bag of heroin and had no other means of keeping the turkey at bay. I knew that I was in for a big cluck, starting in a few hours time. By the mornig, I'll be clucking so bad I'll be spitting feathers.

Get the cluck mug.I think you all know what bad spelling is.
It is a thing you should try not to do.
It is especially important if you are doing something like adding a definition to urban dictionary, posting on a forum or adding to wikipedia etc., and would like your definition, or post, to be taken seriously and to avoid all your hard work being ruined and losing credibility.
I am not including any spelling differences that exist between the UK and the US and am only referring to 'established' words rather than urban, street, text or forum and IM languages.
You do not have to be a good speller. You can always have dictionary.com open in another window, or just type the word (however you think it's spelled) into google, and if it's spelled incorrectly, google will offer alternatives, and you can just cut n paste!

The definition, about the drug, seemed to make sense and I was begining to think that the person who had posted it was correct, until I spotted they had spelled 'heroine' instead of 'heroin'.
The bad spelling started me doubting the knowledge and intelligence of the person posting the definition and, therefore, the definition itself.

Get the cluck mug.Somebody, usualy male, who continually accuses other people of being gay or using many of the various euphemisms for gay (queer, fag, poof, bender, queen, etc) to describe people or actions, things, movies or anything really.
These people are often homofused; in that they are phobic of their own sexuality and try and hide under a blanket of fake masculinity and accusations that every other man is batting for the other side

Kraige was desperate that nobody learn't of his liking of other men and male genitals, that he spent all of his time verbally attcking anything and anyone he didn't understand, by calling them gay or faggot. Kraige is very homofused
