The process of using a paperclip to reset a modem or router to its factory default settings. This process involves unfolding the paperclip and sticking the end of it into a small hole in the router designed specifically for this purpose.
After forgetting my modem's password I had to call my ISP and they said I had to paperclip it. After paperclipping it I had to reconfigure it from scratch.

- I thought he's not interested in me, but he texted me last night and left me on read, again. He has been doing this for a month now and I don't know what should I do with his mixed signals.
- Just dump him, he's totally paperclipping you.
