I have decided that I am going to attempt to bring the term "clowning" into the mainstream. I started this weekend. My friend Bill is up for the challenge. Are you up for the challenge? Basically replace the words joking, kidding, playing, & goofing with "CLOWNING" and you have yourselves a new way of talking.

examples:

Are you clowning off?
I am not clowning off.

Are you clowning?
I am clowning.

Stop clowning me.
