-noun
an informal way of speaking or texting, which is usually the result of years of getting hit in the head, where the practitioner commonly uses words that don't belong in place of ones that do. The person using a Clintism will believe that there is nothing wrong with the way they speak or spell. Most common is replacing the word "that" with "what".
e.g. "Looking for a phone whats work."
The practitioner will also spell words how they sound while texting. This often results in the practitioner's phone to auto correct right words to the improper ones.
e.g. " I mite get done early."

2. flintimacy: getting "close 'n' personal" when "flicking your Bic" or otherwise striking a light. Potentially very dangerous --- safety-goggles may protect your eyes from flying sparks, but you may still get pock-mark burns on your cheeks/chin/forehead (or a total face-blackening if you get too close to a torch when it ignites in a huge jet of flame or a humongous fireball if you mindlessly had the acetylene turned up too high!, à la Laurel and Hardy)
3. glintimacy: where you "get friendly" with shiny/sparkly objects/materials. A sign of being close to glitter-coated Christmas cards is when you end up with "twinkly fingers" afterwards from loosened glitter-particles
4. hintimacy: merely implying that you love someone, rather than actually coming out and saying so in a plain "obvious" way
5. lintimacy: where you get snuggly with "shedding" cloth items
6: mintimacy: necking with someone after using menthol-flavored toothpaste/mouthwash
7: printimacy: loving the scent of fresh ink; watch out for messy dark-blue stains on your nose
