but what does "gib clay" mean?
In the language of Polandball comics, it means "give land/territory".
"Gib" is taken from the German imperative for "give!"
Best theory is that "clay" as "land" originates from a bad machine translation.
It seems somene created a Wiki that covers these terms: https://www.polandballwiki.com/wiki/Terminology#Clay
"give clay". The Dutch wanted to have clay for their world famous clay baths...
Give land/territory
After rereading multiple times to understand it, i think it means the small blob wanted land so "give clay", the other big bullies didn't want to contribute, so started taking from the sea.
