Get the Clutching Bungle mug.Out of desparation, the act of reaching or stretching for a solution, no matter how irrational or inconsequential. Literally - a drowning person who, unable to find any substantial floatation immediately at had, attempts to save himself from certain death by grabbing hold of a few stray pieces of straw floating on the water within arm's length.
The Senator from Florida, caught red-handed sending lewd and lascivious text messages to underage male pages, was clutching at straws for an alibi and escape. Alcoholism? Resignation?

Man, when I heard that John was in that car accident I was totally Clutching My Pearls
Girl, when that truck full of skinheads pulled up next to the car I had to clutch my pearls!

Get the Clutching My Pearls mug.When a motorcyclist performs a wheelie and uses the clutch to bring the front wheel up. This technique is often used at higher speeds, when the bike simply doesn't have enough power to wheelie, or when the rider wants to bring the front wheel up very quickly. It is the most common form of wheelie among stunt riders.
Done by pulling in the clutch and bringing up the rpms a t a rapid pace, and then releasing the clutch while still applying throttle. The sudden surge of power causes the bike to raise much higher than a power wheelie.
