The clap-clap mix (sometimes referred to as the 'clap-clap list') pays homage to the romantic possibilities introduced by a device called 'The Clapper'. An 'As Seen on TV' product, The Clapper features a sound activated electronic circuit, which allows a user to turn on/off electronic devices plugged in to an outlet simply by clapping. A generation of on-screen (and we must assume, real life) smooth operators used The Clapper to cue 'romance'.
In the 2006 film, Accepted, Bartleby (Justin Long) set up a clapper in his dorm room to activate a disco ball and mood lighting. In the 1999 comedy Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, Austin Powers (Mike Myers) claps twice to activate the "seduction lighting" in his apartment. An impressed Ivana Humpalot (Kristen Johnston) asks "When did you get ze Clapper?". Austin, thinking she means "the clap" replies "Dutch East Indies, shore leave."
The 'clap-clap mix' originally referred to a mix CD or digital playlist of 'romantic' songs, queued up and ready to play when a would-be Romeo clapped the command. Although The Clapper device is largely a relic of times past, the idea of a ready-to-go, romantic, sensual, sexy playlist (continually updated with the hot-and-heavy or whimsical ballads of the age) persists. Many, this author included, will forever know this 'in the mood' playlist as the 'clap clap mix'.
These artists are standard starters on any clap-clap mix: Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Luther Vandross, Brian McKnight, Frank Sinatra...

His clap-clap mix, crafted over years of intimate encounters, kicked in from speakers across the room, and as she melted into his embrace, the smooth stylings of Marvin Gaye's 'Sexual Healing' echoed in the warm hollows of their caramel bodies.

A sport where many ppl who study different types are martial arts come together to fight to see who's better. You have stand-up work, which is the martial arts like Tae Kwon Do and Muai Thai, then you have ground work like wrestling, grappling, and Jiu-Jitsu. It's a painful and dangerous sport, but anyone who tries will learn respect and strength. Plus you'll be one BAAAD mother fucker. XD

The dirtiest, filthiest Dubstep mix known to man. It's a 1 hour and 1 minute mix of filth created by 16 bit.
Guy 1: "yo dude, go listen to The Milky Pie Mix by 16 bit.. Make sure you take a shower before and after"
Guy 2: "Why would I need a shower?"
...1 hour later...
Guy 2: "Fuck dude O.o"

verb; to produce an in-and-out flow of drugs and blood in a hypodermic stringe chamber after the "register". This mixes the blood-drug solution prior to completing the injection, ensuring a uniform blend of drug solution into the vein, thus producing a pleasant and even "rush" or "flash".
