(clutcher) One who holds a portable coffee cup or mug in public locations. Mostly seen at malls, flea markets, retail shops, grocery stores, rummage sales, soccer games, or strolling around various public locations. The (clutcher) has a higher rate of visibility during weekends and holidays and is more visible in affluent areas. Can be used to describe the holder of the vessel or the name can be used for the vessel itself.
Strolling around the outdoor mall we see (clutchers) enjoying themselves on their way out of the coffee shop to (clutch) their way through their day.

Someone who believes in any of a number of "New Age" superstitious idiocy, such as: Catholic relics, speaking in tongues, dowsing, magnetic hills, UFOs, astrology, psychic power, homeopathy, therapeutic touch, some kinds of alternative medicine, spinal subluxations, channeling, mediums, and most particularly crystal power.
Every time I go to the sci-fi convention, there's always some stupid Crystal Clutcher trying to sell me a psychic reading.
