dirty clutching 

When driving a manual car, the act of dirty clutching is when the driver depresses the clutch pedal so hard that the clutch spring goes sideways. As a result, this causes the clutch pedal not to return to it’s normal position.

When my Focus had 100 miles on it I was dirty clutching so hard, the OEM spring caved sideways and my pedal wasn’t returning lol.
