Literature | After-clap Beware of after-claps. An after-clap is a catastrophe or threat after an affair is supposed to be over. It is very common in thunderstorms to hear a "clap" after the rain subsides, and the clouds break. "What plaguy mischief and mishaps Do dog him still with after-claps." Butler: Hudibras, Pt. i. 3. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
Slang in 1811 | AFTER-CLAP. A demand after the first given in has been discharged; a charge for pretended omissions; in short, any thing disagreeable happening after all consequences of the cause have been thought at an end. Source: 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue. |
