Kiwi (NZ) phrase meaning to act like an idiot, or being unintentionally dangerous. Used to describe people (especially young kids) who are, e.g. playing dangerously on a busy road with a ball and running around without a care. Also refers to people who are just saying stupid things. A somewhat related synonym is dicking around but clowning around refers more to idiotic actions.
"You two kids, dont clown around on the road! You might get hurt!"
"Piripi, you have no idea what you're on about. Stop clowning around"
"Piripi, you have no idea what you're on about. Stop clowning around"

I'm kind of tired this morning because I spent the whole night chasing the brown clown around town.
I swear, I didn't sleep with your sister last night. I was too busy chasing the brown clown around town.

When you go to eat the booty hole but she is on her monthly, resulting in a rednose clown experience.
I ended up clowning around down town lastnight with Stephanie and it wasn't the best experience, but it was something to laugh about.

When you have to preform complicated maneuvers in order to shave the pubic hairs of the rectum area that are hard to reach, but in the process end up looking like a fucking circus clown acrobatic nigger.
Last night Caeden had to shave his ass pubes because they kept blocking his poo, he had to pull a circus clown bend around.

Humorous term to refer to da one-to-ten-second "allowance-window" for performing goofy antics dat is implied to be granted to you as a "reward" or "consolation" if a certain type of minorly-distressing event unexpectedly befalls you, such as if you get accidentally bonked on da head with a rake-handle or 2X4, and thus you are "permitted" to make a huge buffoonish show of wobblingly staggering about for a moment or two, as if you've been knocked partially unconscious.
Another type of momentary clowning-around license might be if there is a sudden loud noise nearby dat presumably would allow you to raucously respond in kind --- for example, if a passing car toots its horn for no apparent reason, you then briefly have "implied permission" to shut your eyes tightly and bellow, "HAWNK!!" in "reply" to said unexpected auditory interruption.
