Starved
Used in Elizabeth Gaskell's, 19th century novel about life in industrial Manchester, entitled 'Mary Barton'.
She took the bread, when it was put into her hand, and broke a bit, but could not eat. She was past hunger. She fell down on the floor with a heavy unresisting bang. The men looked puzzled.
"She's wellnigh clemmed," said Barton. "Folk do say one mustn't give clemmed people much to eat; but, bless us, she'll eat nought."
This word is not for the faint of heart. Used in a rare but undeniable instance where a clip or clamp of any sort(I.e. hair clip, c-clamp) is used absolutely raw on a piece of meat or exposed flesh.
Trap house Barry: hey potluck Bailey! How’s school going?
Potluck Bailey: *takes out her hair clip and clamps it on trap house Barry’s arm flesh*
Still potluck Bailey: hahahahaha got you soooooo gooooooooood boyo. Boy oh boy boyo. Boy’s boiled, spoiled, and foiled like a boy’s oboe oh boy boyo!!!
Trap house Barry: what the fuck did you even just say bitch?!?! I’m literally clamped raw now that you did that!!!
Everyone nearby: oh my gosssshhhh he’s sooooooooooooo clamped raw right now!!!
Potluck Bailey: yeah I clamped you soooo raw and I’d do it again every time! Hmmmmmmph humph!
When someone "clamps" you it means your wrong and you cant make a come back.
