Box or Knife pleats

[MacWage]

I was going to make a clever remark about a clapper, but I just can't think of a good nexus for it. bummer

That reminds me . . .
In the last election, one of the local candidates for the State legislature was named "Clapper." As it is a small town, where most folks know each other, I kept asking:

Does "Clapper" ring a bell?

(A phrase that usually means: is it familiar to you- with the thread on Language in mind)

I usually got blank stares and "I realy don't thinks so" or "Doesn't he work for Presbyterian College?" (which is in my town, actually-> across the street from my neighborhood).
Only a VERY FEW even REALIZED what I had ACTUALLY said!
(It ALWAYS cracked me up.)
