Description
Clown humour has always embraced cruelty in its teasing and insulting of other clowns and members of the audience.
Clowns represent anarchy, the personifications of unreason, and a force of nature out of control.
Who knows what really lies behind their unchanging painted faces and outlandish costumes?

It’s not old, perhaps from the 1980s—and has been taken from Greek kolon, a limb, which seems strange until you find the related kolobathristes was a stilt-walker. This seems to have been the nearest its coiner could get to a suitable classical allusion, since ancient Greek didn’t have a word for a clown in our modern sense.

Again, this is Jack. A character from Halloween Horror Nights
