[Ads-l] Idle curiosity

[victor steinbok]

It's not really sports context, except in the most superficial sense.

The underlying phrase is "That's clutch!" in the sense similar to "That's
cool!". That's not the same meaning that's in sports context, unless I'm
completely misinterpreted the expression.
