clarnet
What does clarnet mean?
An idiot — but a mild one. Black Country insult, said to have come out of Tipton, and used the way another region might say 'wally' or 'plonker'. Lands as exasperated rather than nasty; you'd call your mate a clarnet for locking his keys in the car, not for anything serious.
"Don't be such a daft clarnet, yow know that ay right."
