The clap is a very old slang term for a sexually transmitted disease (STD). It is said to come from the 13th-century French clapoire, or clapier in Modern French, meaning “rabbit hutch.” And rabbits, well, screw like rabbits.
How did the clap get its name?
The name is believed to have derived from French or English language terms, or from the painful treatment that was once used to treat the disease. Gonorrhea is a sexually-transmitted disease that is caused by the bacteria known as Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which can be easily spread from person to person.
What is the clap a nickname for?
Gonorrhea, also called “the clap” is an extremely contagious sexually transmitted disease (STD). It is a bacterial infection that affects both men and women. Men are more likely to exhibit symptoms associated with the disease.
