ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Clip joint

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of a clip joint? It's a place where people try to trick you and take your money.

Here's how it works: Let's say you're walking down the street and someone approaches you and says "Hey there little one, would you like to come to this cool club with me? There's a great show going on and you'll have a lot of fun!"

Now, you might get excited and want to go, right? But here's where it gets tricky - once you get inside the club, things are not what they seem. The show might not be very good and the drinks they offer might be really expensive. And once you've had your fun, they'll ask you to pay up - but the bill they give you will be much higher than you expected.

And this is how they make their money - by tricking people into paying more than they should. It's not fair, and that's why we need to be careful and always ask a grown-up before going somewhere new.
