A phrase used to encourage someone to stop responding, either because they are annoying, or woefully wrong.
John: (bragging) I just got admitted to Cornell
Bill: I was admitted too, with full scholarship. Put that in your favorite font.
The 2016 equivalent of the mid-late 2000s phrase "you got served". For one to be put on clams, they must be showed up by somebody who is considered of lesser ability (i.e. an underdog).
The phrase's origin is unclear but it did originate from the suburban town of Montville, NJ. The thought process behind the phrase seems to tie into the nature of clams to be served as an appetizer (i.e. clams casino) on a platter for group consumption. In this example, it points to somebody being put out in the open to be picked on by a multitude of bystanders.
