Clapter

applause, either that of a group of people, as in an audience, or a single retard.

That retard is always quick with the clapter at inappropriate times. I wonder if he understands that this is a professional presentation, not a third grade book report.

Clapter is a word coined by Amanda Filipacchi in her 1993 novel Nude Men to describe the enthusiastic response to the avant-garde magician Laura who entertains her audience with "tricks" that require no actual magic but do demand an elevated level of sophistication on the part of the viewer in order to be appreciated.

"When Laura takes a Kleenex out of her pocket and wipes her forehead with it, everyone roars with clapter"
