I'm looking for phrases, names, and words with Claar replacing a portion of it. It must make sense. For example, here are some of the ones I have so far: Claars and Stripes Forever, Lewis and Claar, Claarmaggedon, The Claardy Boys, The Claartridge Family, When you wish upon a claar, Claarty McFly, Claar And Present Danger, Claarpal Tunnel Syndrome, etc. Any creative submissions on your part are both appreciated and welcome!!!!

But your examples do not make sense.

Exactly. Why "Claar"?

It might be that it's some piece of modern youth argot that we are unfamiliar with.
It's one of the ways in which one group tries to differentiate itself from another; I'm sure that you and I both did it back in those antediluvian days when we we young.

I agree, we need some claarification.

Oh specs.
(That's a piece of school argot from my secondary school days of the 1950s. Nobody will know what it means unless: 1. they were at Reigate Grammar at that time or 2. they trawl this board and discover my posting of some years ago.)This message has been edited. Last edited by: Richard English,

Perhaps he thinks we're claarvoyant, and can figure it out on our own.
Or, perhaps it's just a fun thing to do! Very claarver!

As I said, I suspect it's schoolchildren's argot and now, having demonstrated, to their own clique's satisfaction, their cleverness and superiority by using expressions unknown to those outside their circle, they will fade from the scene.
You will note that neither of those who claimed familiarity with this argot has been back for some time.
