A clockwork orange comes from an old London saying "queer as a clockwork orange". A clockwork orange is actually a wind up doll that is controlled by both god and the devil. Anthony Burgess uses this for his book to symbolize the government almost brainwashing Alex in order to control his bad behavior.

In poker, when you know in your gut you are beat but call a bet anyway, it is an "orange belt" play, i.e., a classic intermediate move.
The implication is that a white-belt player wouldn't even know they were beat and would call, and a black belt player would know they were beat and fold.
"Oh man, this is such and orange-belt call."
"I want to orange belt you so badly, but I'm going to be disciplined and fold."

An unresolvable and ultimately useless comparison.
A comparison which is just as easy to support as it is to contest.
Something which is both the same and different simultaneously depending on your point of view.
alt. *Apples to Apples*--Though not the initial meaning, occasionally the phrase "apples to oranges" is used to dismiss a "distinct difference" noted between two things which are not distinctly different. IE the neverending opinion wars often attributed to brand-loyalty. These are based on imaginary chasms of vast differences which cannot be proven or conclusively settled. IN other words these things are not really very different, but people desperately want to believe they are.
When someone says "you're comparing apples to oranges" they're really saying "Why are you trying to compare those things? You can't compare apples to oranges, they're just not the same thing."
They're both sweet. They're both fruit. They're both the same. But they're not. One's an apple, and one's an orange. Is that all there is to it? One tastes better. No it doesn't. Yes it does. How do you decide which one everyone likes more? How *can* you decide?
A great example of silly apples to oranges is vanilla and chocolate.
Invalid apples to oranges comparisons would be like comparing Bush or Clinton to Lincoln, Jefferson, or Washington. You can't, so don't.
Examples of useless "nonexistant-vast-differences" apples to oranges comparisons are Macs and PC's, Fords and Chevys, Nikons and Canons.. In reality this is mostly "apples to apples" comparison.
Apples to oranges usually ends with each person believing or feeling whatever they do and leaving it at that. That's all there is to it. Neither can really ever be better or worse, and nobody can win the argument.
In the end, the whole point of making the comparison is to illustrate: there is really no point in making the comparison.

The definition for body odour.
When one is on a crowded train (such as the underground) if a person elites with the aroma of say, damp digestive biscuits with a wiff of stale pants, and makes you wonder why oh why you were put in the unfortunate position of having to sit next to them, you have the urge to shout you stinky bas***d go and have a wash....there is that little voice inside that doesn't want to offend, to relive yourself, one would suggest that you shout....'Oh my God, Bobby Orange has got on this train!!!'
Also useful to notify friends.
