noun (clownpenis, clown penised, clown penising, clown penises)
1. An act of failure. Not just any failure but repeated failure and especially when the subject is not aware.
2. A person who's engaged in an extreme and/or ongoing failure. It is notable that a clown
penis does not generally know they are a clown
penis.
3. An organization that has numerous clown penises. The term "clown peni" (rhymes with "in your eye") has been adopted here to not confuse with just a bunch of clown penises. In one case it's the clown penises themselves and in the other it's the collective.
4. The actual
penis of a clown (archaic). This is considered rude and insensitive and has mostly fallen out of use.

Origin
A children'
s ride designer shared a project with his wife she said "that looks like a
penis you clown". Search for "clown
penis" for various videos. When in a fancy restaurants she would often refer to her "clown's
penis" at times. The invention was licensed by a ferris wheel company. Engineers and fabricators made working prototypes but they did not notice that the it looked like a penis ride. Quality assurance specialist from schneiders wiener manufacturer did report the
penis likeness. He was killed in an accident. The company manufactured a few thousand units and they were mostly purchased by festival and rental companies. None of them realized that the kids ride was in fact.. a
penis. This early production run was outsourced to a small village in China. They knew it was a
penis all along. They didn't care they just said "haha clown
penis! haha clown peanut!". The neighborhood association that rented it in the video mostly consisted of young mothers who were involved with the local church. When they rented it, there were some concerns but nobody was really sure. Eventually it was deployed on a summer day. Kids didn't know or care if it was a clown
penis. They loved it. Parents and other observers did not notice so the installation remained for a month until it mysteriously disappeared.
