.clearfix { *zoom: 1; &:before, &:after { display: table; content: ""; } &:after { clear: both; } }

a/an = indefinite article. For example, if I say, "Let's read the book," I mean a specific book. If I say, "Let's read a book," I mean any book rather than a specific book.
A/N means "Author's Note." A/N is an abbreviation used in fanfiction to introduce a note by the author. As well as in fanfiction, an author's note can appear in professionally written and published books, both fiction and nonfiction, but the term would not usually be abbreviated.
Ass Backwards -or- Ah Bless Online jargon, also known as text message shorthand, used primarily in texting, online chat, instant messaging, email, blogs, and newsgroup postings, as in "Well that's AB."
That's LESS, not CSS.
This syntax allows you to nest selector modifiers.
.clearfix { &:before { content: ''; } } Will compile to:
.clearfix:before { content: ''; } With the &, the nested selectors compile to .clearfix:before.
Without it, they compile to .clearfix :before.

A nested & selects the parent element in both SASS and LESS. It's not just for pseudo elements, it can be used with any kind of selector.
e.g.
h1 { &.class { } } is equivalent to:
h1.class { } If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
