A clipper is a name known for men who clipped cotton in the south and at night hustled by playing at speak-easies. They were knikc-named clippers around NYC and up there because they would clip in the summer and then clip in the bars during the Winter. They took the train called, wait for it, the Clipper Express. Thats where it came from.

Mario Balotelli just comfirmed he will start with the Nice Truckers next season. I believe they're a good enough squad to upset the current stalemate between the Paris Shitskins and the Monaco Taxes.
Good luck Super Mario!
