A: Edward always feels the need to explain every concept we talk about. He is a goddam clever clogs. B: Isn’t he? I don’t like him either. Note: “Clogs” are “shoes with a thick wooden sole.” This British slang is used to describe someone who gives the impression of knowing everything, especially someone who thinks he can easily outsmart his fellows.The term is often used in the jocular by those who see through their transparent schemes. Such a person is clever in a way that is annoying. |
