That's perfect timing · That's super helpful · That's exactly what we needed
Imagine you're in a tricky spot, like your phone dying right when you need to call a cab, and then your friend whips out a portable charger. Their timing? **Clutch!** This expression is all about recognizing something or someone that comes through at the perfect, often critical, moment. ✨
💡 **Where did it come from?** 'Clutch' as slang is heavily influenced by sports and gaming! Think of a player making a critical play at the last second to win the game – that's a 'clutch play'. So, when you say "That's clutch!", you're essentially saying "That was a game-changer!" or "That saved the day!" It’s often used to show appreciation for someone's quick thinking or help.
When would you most appropriately use "That's clutch!"? A. When you finish an important work project on time. B. When someone offers you their last piece of gum just when you really wanted some. C. When you accidentally drop your phone and it breaks.
