A compound of clap and laughter made to describe the reaction that social justice Advocates when they see a "comedian" they like. No laughter is actually involved and the person initiating the reaction is not really a comedian but rather a social justice Advocate giving a speech. Whenever the "comedian" makes a point the audience likes they clap and this is what we refer to as Claughter.
