In chess and other timed games, to 'clockweasel' is to hang on with an otherwise lame game in hope that the opponent's clock will expire and give you an ignoble victory. Common techniques of clockweaseling in chess include deliberately sacrificing pieces to cause the opponent to consume precious time in the sheer biomechanics of picking up your pieces.
Varoudi clockweaseled Kjerdorf out of a brilliant game at Weatherstone's. Varoudi started sacking with ten seconds left on Kjerdorf's clock and Kjerdorf fell for it.

Get the Like Clockwork mug.One of the best books ever written. The book is about a young man named Alex who is a hoodlum and he and his friends get off on tormenting and raping people. One night Alex's friends betray him after he's killed some old woman and Alex is caught and put in jail. The government comes up with a rehab program that Alex volunteers for and it turns Alex against everything he loved before, including the works of Beethoven.
The book is written mainly in a language called "Nadsat" ("teen" in Russian) which comprises of people, mainly teenagers using Russian words in otherwise English sentances. Most of the copies of the book come with a glossary in the back, however, you can usually understand what a word means by the context it is used in.
A Clockwork Orange is a very graphic and violent book, but it does teach the reader very important lessons about themselves and about life.
Stanly Kubrick made A Clockwork Orange into a movie that was released in 1971 and was promptly banned in several countries as it was viewed as too violent. There's a scene in the movie that was cut out because it was too violent and also a chapter in the book that was cut out for the same reason. However, now you can get copies of the orginal book and I have heard rumors that you can download the original movie version.
