The reason Gonorrhea is called the clap is because of the treatment that was painful which was used to treat Gonorrhea.

The name the clap for Gonorrhea is believed to have derived from French or English language terms, or from the painful treatment that was once used to treat the disease.

Gonorrhea is a sexually-transmitted disease that is caused by the bacteria known as Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which can be easily spread from person to person.

Gonorrhea, a bacterial infection, is also called “the clap” or “drip.”

It's a common sexually transmitted disease (STD).

You can get gonorrhea by having sex with a person infected with it.

Gonorrhea is also sometimes referred to as “The Drip.”

This nickname comes about by the grossly visual symptom of an infected penis that leaks and drips discharge.

Gonorrhea is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

The gonorrhea bacteria are most often passed from one person to another during sexual contact, including oral, anal or vaginal intercourse.
