A desperate and somewhat dishonest technique parents use in which the parent announces that, due to poor behaviour, they’ve had to cancel an exciting event or activity they’d had planned. The parent, however, never actually planned the event in the first place.
“That’s it,” the mom told her misbehaving children, “I had to cancel the clown I’d booked for this afternoon!”

The phenomenon of having to come out as bisexual to the same person/people repeatedly because they assumed or hoped that your sexuality was a "phase." Refers less to the holiday and more to the 1993 Bill Murray comedy film in which the main character experiences the same day over and over.
"My visit home turned into Bisexual Groundhog Day. My mom acted shocked when I told her I'm going to Pride next week, so I had to come out to her as bisexual AGAIN."

1b. Are you feeling ok? Where's your head at? You're really cancelling the clown today.
2a. After dinner last night I thought my girlfriend and I were going to have intercourse, instead she cancelled the clown on me.
2b. I was really getting to know that girl through intense conversation and then my douchebag friends intruded on my squirrel and cancelled the clown on me.
