| "Yo" = "your" "Your clock" = your biological clock (that registers your age) "Your clock is ticking" is an expression that means you are getting older, and refers to a woman´s ability to have children that lessens as they age. Many girls in their late 20´s and throughout their 30´s will say, "My clock is ticking" as they fear they will not be able to have children. |

| Hi! I think it is the variation of the idiom - What makes you tick? Quote:

| In American English, we have the exact phrase of "our-" or "your-" or "-my clock ticking," referring to the biological clock inside all of us that keeps on ticking--getting older. Maybe there are similar variations elsewhere and should be checked in context. |

| This clock projects the time, date, or temp on the wall or ceiling some people call it a ceiling clock but I call it a digital projection clock. I got the black one because at the time that was the only color they had. But now they have them in black and also in white. |
