momentary clowning-around license

Humorous term to refer to da one-to-ten-second "allowance-window" for performing goofy antics dat is implied to be granted to you as a "reward" or "consolation" if a certain type of minorly-distressing event unexpectedly befalls you, such as if you get accidentally bonked on da head with a rake-handle or 2X4, and thus you are "permitted" to make a huge buffoonish show of wobblingly staggering about for a moment or two, as if you've been knocked partially unconscious.

Another type of momentary clowning-around license might be if there is a sudden loud noise nearby dat presumably would allow you to raucously respond in kind --- for example, if a passing car toots its horn for no apparent reason, you then briefly have "implied permission" to shut your eyes tightly and bellow, "HAWNK!!" in "reply" to said unexpected auditory interruption.

Clown Punch

Clown punch occurs when your significant other makes you laugh while drinking red wine or rum punch. The trickling beverage resembles a bloody nose.

Ken gave Barbie the old clown Punch and she needs a bit of club soda to avoid staining.
