The occurrence when a celebrity/social media 'influencer' says/does something controversial for the sake staying in the spotlight. It usually happens when said influencer is losing their 15 seconds of fame, thus filing for clout bankruptcy. He/she can do this multiple ways including saying controversial yet bland political takes (i.e: "we're controlled by the elites" "we need a better healthcare system" "there are only 2 genders"), publicly converting into a religion, staging a drama with another influencer, etc. This stunt may also involve monetary gains
Person 1: did you hear that *insert washed up celebrity/influencer* thinks we shouldn't take vaccines?
Person 2: that guy? He's filing for clout bankruptcy. No one's talked about him since he made the hitsong 2 years ago
An award typically in an academic or work setting, that is granted to the most inoffensive candidate. In contrast to a typical award that is given to the most qualified candidate. Or to a candidate that better fits a predefined quota (hint: minorities). Or to the candidate who is willing to pay a fee (hint: scams).
Clout award's usually have no inherit value, due to having no real standards. On the surface they may appear to be prestigious, but behind the smoke and mirrors they mean squat.
They're the middle child of meaningless awards, with the younger being participation medals and the older being a Nobel peace prize.

Using a person death for sympathy or clout , usually through social media
I can’t believe their using *enter name* passing for death clout
A person who has so much clout that you gain some clout just by standing near them. They radiate positive energy, and they make NO TIME for haters. Being around a clout magnet is a surprisingly smart approach to moving up on the totem pole.
Look at Aiden, he is such a clout magnet! Someday, I want to be like him!

To be drowning in the pussy. There are several rankings of Pussy Clout, starting with Basically Gay and ending with Pussy Slayer. In order to rank up, you must achieve an attainable and realistic amount of pussy.
Bro 1: “Bro, I just ranked up in Pussy Clout! Jessica sent me nudes!”
Bro 2: “Bro, that’s awesome! Soon you’ll be a Pussy Slayer!

Luring a famous person or influencer into a situation to where they are manipulated into giving you clout.
Bob was Clout-baiting that famous actor when he faked his illness just to get a shout out.
