Right Turn Clyde 

I always thought this just meant you were a bit retarded. As in, you can only ever make an inside turn. So for us fellow colonialists, "Left turn Clyde". Never go against the flow.. only with it.. lick those windows.

Also apparently means some shit to do with a monkey but.. really?
Person 1: Oh shit, don't get directions from him!
Person 2: Why not?
Person 1: He is a window licker.. he's a proper "Right Turn Clyde". You'll end up going in a circle!
