Scandinavian Clincher

Scandinavian Clincher

When one person takes his or her "pointer" finger and "middle" finger, reaches underneath a male's legs (generally from behind) and attempts to pull his scrotum down while trying to insert his or her thumb deep into the male's anus.

A person with great skill who can wiggle or move their hand in a "wave" motion while fully engaged in the maneuver is considered to be able to fulfill the requirements of the "Original Scandinavian Clincher. As of recently, the wiggle or "wave" motion has been abandoned due to the extreme difficulty of successfully being able to complete the maneuver.

If done correctly, the "Scandinavian Clincher" can be a demoralizing and effective maneuver to cause pain/discomfort and or embarrassment.
Patient "A": "Dr., the strangest thing happened to me the other day?

Dr.: "Ok, tell me what happened."

Patient "A": "A person came up from behind me and pulled down on my sack with what I think was his index and middle finger. And at the same time placed his thumb far into my butt. It made me feel uncomfortable. It also caused me minor/medium pain. . ."

Dr.: "Hmmmm, this is interesting. I had a patient not too long ago complain of a similar instance. What happened to you is insulting. I understand that. The technical term of what had happened to you is a "Scandinavian Clincher."

cliché

Originally a French term, coming from the verb "clicher", which roughly means "to stereotype". The extracted definition, as it's used today, is taken as "something that's overdone," or "an idea that was originally innovative, but has now grayed and grown tired from overuse." It has fallen into wide use as a criticism device for film, literature, art, and even everyday phenomena.

Off the record, the term itself has become a cliché, and some find the term infuriating, often because the word is sometimes used to attack a product with little other basis. Some old ideas are overdone because they work- if a work or an idea were so new and untried that it avoided all clichés, it would be foreign. Few people would be able to accept it as anything more than the direct result of a drug trip.
Avoiding all clichés is more or less impossible because some ideas are etched in the human psyche as unavoidable aspects of everyday life.

The truth is that the majority of ideas, in their purest forms, have been done; the challenge is how they are put together, and the creative process is partially selfish anyway. While an artist of some other sort may aim to please his/her audience, if said person wants to write about elves or teenage drama, that person should be allowed to do so without angering a horde of angry critics.

The issue for critics, then, should not fall in the overuse of tried ideas, but in their execution and how they are valued as a whole.
"Hey, Fred, did you see that film, where the teens get attacked by zombies in a mall?"
"Oh. You mean the cliché concept that plagues every zombie film?"
"...Dude. Lay off."

"I propose that the word "the" is now a cliché. Therefore, film critics, you will also be forced to use the word kaffunnumupah instead."

(Newspaper) "Don't see (x). It's nothing more than cliché after cliché after cliché."
(Crumples up paper) "But (x) changed my life!"
