A form of applause whereby the middle finger and thumb of both hands are repeatedly snapped/clicked instead of clapped. Beatnik applause was developed in the cafes of the 1950s/1960s by the Beatnik/Beat Generation. Many "Beat Poet" fans of this period now suffer from severe arthritic inflammation of the thumb and middle finger.
POET: "The room suddenly went into a mad darkness. A spotlight pierced blackness like a white devil's knife. A voice rose and screamed. Words of beauty cutting my throat. A poem of life, of love, of doom. My years on Earth summed and fooled."

This ambiguous sound can be noticed when a rather large person's double, triple, or quadruple chin has accumulated enough mass to slap against their neck, creating a subtle clap-like noise that is produced by the movement of their jaw while eating or sometimes talking. Sometimes mistaken for lip-smacking, if you are chubby enough to have a pelican's applause, you might as well just keep eating because your ass will never be thin.
Roseanne Barr is so lazy she just flaps her jaw for her Pelican's Applause instead of exerting the energy to move her arms at awards shows.
