Applause

A series of self given high fives driven by one of the following purposes:

1. Congratulate someone else's achievement.
2. Acknowledge the end of a joke, speach or musical scene.
3. Sing the "Happy Birthday" song.
4. Force the speaker to shut the hell up.
5. Kill a flying insect.
6. Mimic a seal.
7. For the sake of peer pressure.

You see, the applause is only present in the Happy Birthday song to prevent us from realizing how ridiculous it is. Try to do either of them separately and you'll get what I'm saying.

I'm just starting the applause so everyone can tell the joke is over and it's ok to laugh.

applausal

1.The clapping of the hands after a sensational performance.
2.A way of showing thanks for a job well done by cheering or clapping.

At the end of the performance, there was a well deserved applausal from the audience.

A baseball player hit a home run and the fans gave a loud applausal.

applausible excuse

An explanation for your failures, so spectacular that even those you have let down will put their hands together.

Asked why there was no quarterly report, the vp replied, with the straightest of faces, that he had been abducted on his way to the office, given a medical exam by aliens aboard their UFO, and that the alien's dog did actually eat all his paperwork, and he was extremely sorry. An applausible excuse, it seemed, as he got a laugh from the CEO, clapping filled the conference room, and was not fired for two weeks.
