While I value this discourse, everyone's view of this phrase will vary; even if only slightly.
It can be a buzz word to trigger a connotation or associate value.
For instance a forum member on another forum once referred to foolishness or silliness as "industrial strength clown shoes"; I thought it was funny and illustrated the point.
But there very well maybe industrial strength clown shoes out there.
This is an interesting topic, but it's hard to grasp.
