In computing and online safety, think before you click: don't click on strange links, pop-ups or adverts, and ask an adult. In everyday life, a seatbelt clicks when it is fastened safely. In stories, a click can be a quiet warning sound. Phrases: click on, double-click, click your fingers, click into place, it clicked.

### Note

Do not confuse click with "clique" (a small closed group of friends); they sound alike. "Click on" and "click" are both used for computers. In maths, "a click" is not a unit; but in problems about clocks, each click of a dial can stand for one step.
