Slang for sterilizing with an autoclave. It is often used by the younger generation of scientists and most older people will have no idea what it means.
The act of getting the claves (latin percussion instrument) clave taken away from you. Usually because you are playing them when you are not supposed to be.
Mrs. Conway: "Everybody stop playing, Graham, does this song call for claves? I didnt think so. Give me those."
