Meaning
A clamp: a tool with two jaws tightened by a screw or lever to hold objects firmly in place, often during woodworking, gluing, or metalwork. In conversation it commonly conveys pressing, squeezing, or holding something tightly, and can suggest applying pressure or keeping a situation under control. It sometimes appears in craft, DIY, or repair contexts. Usage is fairly literal and technical; it is rarely used for strong emotion, so its figurative sense can be ambiguous without surrounding context.
