"Clean someone's clock" = lau chùi đồng hồ -> nghĩa là đánh bại người khác, thắng cuộc đấu. Vì đồng hồ có mặt nên khi "clean your clock" có nghĩa là bị đánh vào mặt.
Ví dụ
Whatever happens, I’m gratified (hài lòng) that my daughters and millions of other young people could watch a tough, smart, prepared and not-young professional woman take on a bombastic (khoa trương), powerful man — and clean his clock when the stakes (tiền cược) couldn’t have been higher.
Fighter Kirby throws powerful punches that can really clean your clock. It is an ability that was first seen in Kirby Super Star for the SNES. The fighting form has become one of Kirby’s most popular and often used abilities appearing in numerous titles and anime episodes. The statue depicts Kirby with the iconic Fighter headband as he is in the middle of launching a huge blast of energy in a single swift kick.
At nine years old, he was the best player I’d ever seen. I’d take him to play pickup [football] and he and I would play two-versus-two against talented men and clean their clocks. He could read the game and space like no kid I’d ever seen. He was better than Alphonso at finding space, he could dance with that ball like a ballerina and he was a great kid too. Respectful, smart and hardworking.”
