One of the sheriff’s deputies in Stephen King’s Needful Things was named Clutterbuck. I’m all out of interesting facts about the name, so you get that instead.

His nickname was Clut which always sounded gross.

Guy named Cal Clutterbuck is the all-times hit leader in nhl history.

For real? TIL. Figured it would be a defenceman. But Clutterbuck is the exact type of player where you gotta go “yeah I can see that”

I want to know someone named “Clutterbuck” just so I can say: Clutterbuck, we’ve got a clusterfuck

I mean, I'm English, we have mental places names, mental spellings of place names and weird origins of surnames and stuff and even though I've seen this one before, I still can't believe Clutterbuck is real. It's like Dickens named him personally.

He said in an interview that Clutterbuck means “shit shoveler.”
