term describing a conditon that occurs in amplifiers and mixing equipment were a signal is put through the equipment that is beyond what that equipment can handle. This results in a chopping off or "clipping" of the signal done to a manageable level, which off causes the loss of some part of the signal. Keeping a signal at a level of clipping for more than a few minutes will kick a amplifier into "protect" mode until it cools off.

Get the clip mug.An idea invented by my friend and I on a drunken night out; piss-clips are large clips, similar to hair clips, which are used to hold up the rolls of fat on clinically obese people so that when they sit down to piss the excess fat doesn't sag into the toilet and get in the way. Can also be used as a term of abuse, for example:
