Steam-Clavined

The phenomenon of playing a game on Steam and either getting killed or missing vital information due to Steam blocking out the bottom-right corner of the game to tell you that a friend has logged into a different game. Named for mailman Cliff Clavin from the TV show "Cheers," who often spouted useless, wrong, and/or unwanted trivia to the annoyance of the people around him.

"FUCK, I'm dead! I would've SEEN that landmine if I weren't being Steam-Clavined just then!"

Cleanax

How the name, "Kleenex" (a major brand of nasal tissue) is sometimes spelled, because when you hear somebody say Kleenex it often comes out sounding like, "Cleanax".

{Drake}: Hey Josh, can you pass me a Cleanax?
{Josh}: Fuck you Drake, go get your own goddamn Cleanax!!!

come clean

The name of an awful song by the gay, untalented singer Hilary Duff. Also used when someone tells the truth about something they've been lying about or wants to keep a secret.

Why don't I come clean? Let me just be honest, dear. I promise not to hide anything.

clean as your mother's reputation

Basically, this term means that you can't get something any cleaner (or purer) than it is. It's also meant as a compliment by saying that somebody's mother is not a skanky whore or streetwalker. This term appeared in the young adult edition of the novel adaptation of the 1979 sci-fi thriller"Alien".

George the janitor tidied up the restroom so well it's not simply spic and span, it's as clean as your mother's reputation.
