Clearing 

The act of losing a "Table Game" led by the older of two age groups at camp, and being forced to take everyone's plates and silverware up. It is a very unwanted job. Also used as a figurative expression when someone does something stupid, a given older kid will pretend that the younger kid deserved to clear the table for what they said or did.
John: Mark, Clearing!!!

Mark: Ahh! I'm so bad at table games. I literally clear at least once every day!

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
