Close but no cigar

When you come close to something but don't quite get there.

Just short of success

This phrase originated in the 1920's. Fair grounds would give cigars away as prizes. Prizes were more aimed at the adults then vs. children like they are now. The fair workers would shout out "close but no cigar".... The first written documentation of this word appeared in the 1930's and then became a common phrase.
You finish second in a race
A friend asks how you did
You tell them "I finished in second place, close but no cigar"

Closet Boy

A silly fuck boy that will do anything to bust a nut. Even if it means deep throating 10 inches of gigantic penis.
Hey Robert, if I suck your dick, will you suck mine? Ok Dan, but I thought you had a girlfriend? I do Robert, but I'm a silly queer Closet boy, that secretly likes big fat weiners.

Clarisse

A Clarisse is one of the toughest girls you will ever meet. She's brave, strong, athletic, and will always stand up for her friends. A Clarisse also happens to be drop dead gorgeous-even without makeup. She doesn't let people make fun of her or her friends. She stands up to anyone trying to hurt someone, physically or verbally. She doesn't like to fight, but she will. She is sweet and caring. She loves being out in nature.
Do you remember the time when Clarisse beat up Chad at the dance?

lateral cleavage

Lateral cleavage is partial exposure of your breasts from the side. Also known as "sideboob" by the crude at heart.
My top was terribly skimpy; and it caused enough lateral cleavage to be revealed.

Clump Sporran

Burly chicks.

The suety drapes shrouding the fetid seafood platter of a gargantuan and stout female.
I spent a fruitless bank holiday creaming my wives clump sporran with factor 50 sun block. To no avail.

The Club House

A hidden group of people that play a variety of games within the community "Next Generation Roleplay". One thing that is strange and odd about this group of gamers is that they are strictly supportive of the homosexual decent, with that kept in mind they usually have a different mindset when playing games. They tend to play games unlike other gamers in a more flamboyant way and play the 'HERO' in every game in hope to make only friends with the other males in the game they're playing. This group has such an extreme friendship that they even take certain times out of the year to go on gay-friendly cruises and stop by the most exotic places that are known for gay people. This group of people is just amazing due to the fact they are changing the gamer world much like other activities that are being morphed into allowing gay-friendly communities.
I went on The Club House cruise and we had a great time making friends.

Michael Clifford

The most amazing guitarist who does what he wants, and justifies it with the phrase "I do what I want, I'm punk rock." He looks and acts all tough and hardcore punk-rock, but he's about as sweet and adorable as a kitten. That's what he's called sometimes, actually. The kitten.
Michael Clifford? Oh my God, he's so bae.
