clutch

ナイスなときにつかうスラング　”clutch”

Fortniteのゲームで、勝利を決めたとき「clutch」と言われた

褒めてくれているみたいだけど、その意味がわからなくていろいろ聞いてみた。

ネットで調べると スポーツなどの重要なシーンでclutchというようだ。

重要なシーンで、思いがけず勝利を得たようなときにつかえそうなスラング。見つけた使用例は次のようなもの。

clutch shot / clutch situation / What a clutch shot!

どれも形容詞として使っているような気がするけど、彼は clutchedともいったような気がする。

clutchの基本的な意味は、他動詞で「をぐいっとつかむ」「をしっかり握る」

When I won the game, I learned a new slang word “clutch”.

I played Fortnite with Shane.

Shane is better player than me.

He shot the last enemy and had already done a lot of damage. The enemy moved quickly while recovering.
When he hided on the ground hid under the building to recover himself, I found and shot him. We won the match.

It sounded like he said I was clutch or I did clutch. I wasn’t sure.

At first I didn’t understand what it meant. I think he complimented me..

He taught me what it meant.
As usual, I didn’t understand it right away.
Because when I try to understand slang, I’m confused trying to make sense with the basic meaning

Clutch means to grasp tightly, right?

How should I use the word clutch? Can I use it for a verb, an adjective or an uncountable noun? If you like, please correct the following my my following English composions (sentences/examples) .
(“the” and “my” is usually not used together)
“If you like, please correct my examples“

You clutched.

You clutched the match.

That was clutch.

That was a clutch match.

That was a clutch shot.

You did clutch.

That was nice clutch.

I think I made some unnatural English sentences.

Since it’s slang there are really not much rules, I think everything is being used

If i would try to explain clutch: It is coming out of a bad situation by keeping your focus or cool

Clutch means you did something well when it was difficult. I guess it’s an adjective. Slang doesn’t have normal rules 

Like if you were getting attacked by two enemies and you defeated both of them. That was clutch

You just clutched!

You definitely clutched that moment!
