This was presumably given as one word rather than two to allow for the alternative "crazy people" definition, however that has resulted in some weak surfaces. It's also noticeable that 11 out of 72 clues use "clean forks" in very similar ways, and that doesn't even include the variations in 28 32 and 52.
