What is



supposed to mean?

In my book that shows 5+♣ with 2+ of ♣ top honors. An 8-card KT98 qualifies in my opinion even though you only hold 1 top honor.
If partner holds ♣AX you are not bothered about the missing Q for 7 after all.

Depends on system, if you play that it can be KQxxx and out, then this is fine, but if partner bids 3♠ you have a potential yarborough with a void, and may struggle to get back into clubs, if you show a real positive, you do not have the values.

Just a fun hand.

I prefer to use only the 2♦ positive response to a 2♣ opening, I want to hear what partner has.

Better hope partner doesn't hold the club queen without the ace. They might stupidly think you must hold ♣AK for your two out of three top honours without the queen, and blast one level too high off an ace.
