Definitions

  1. a group of followers hired to applaud at a performance

Word origin

Borrowed from French claque (“group of people hired to applaud or boo, claque”, literally “a slap; a clap”).

Used in a sentence

  • The most popular singers have been obliged to give free tickets and even to donate cash, lest the claque retaliate by frantic applause at the wrong moment.
  • The claque isn't paid. In fact, claqueurs pay to get in. The inducement is that they can buy standing room for half price, without waiting in line.
