The latest fashion must-have. I'll admit that I didn't even know what a clavicle was. I think I'd had it confused with a clavier, as in Wallace Stevens' "Peter Quince at the Clavier".

In The Catcher In The Rye, Holden Caulfield tells Sunny the prostitute that he's recovering from an operation on his clavichord.
Not only did you beat me to the Bach joke, icks, yours is much better than mine.
This post would have benefited from a photo.
That's so last season.
All the girls this season are vocal about their bright pink uvulas.
Go rent the movie Heat with your girlfriend. There's a scene where Jeremy Piven (playing a physician) explains to Robert DeNiro's bank robber character that his accomplice (played by Val Kilmer) has a broken clavicle as a result of his gunshot wound. Piven helpfully gestures toward his own clavicle while explaining this. Small role for Piven, but he does a great job with it.
Now Matt, surely you've seen Bringing Up Baby, wherein the theft of a (dinosaur) clavicle plays such an important part in the plot. :)
ah, yes, Cary Grant chanting "inter-costal clavicle!" while chasing a terrier.
or is it "intra-costal"?
eh, we all know Grant was bi-coastal himself.
"clavicle" by alkaline trio has some of the worst lyrics ever. they have generally awful lyrics, and these stand out even among those.

no, no--you're confusing it with the "Well-Tempered Clavicle", a collectio of compostions by Johann Sebastian Buffed.
