Are you retarded? Anyone who spends a day outside knows it's white clover, but to horticulturists of any nature, THOSE ARE WEEDS.

I help manage four greenhouses. Do you know how fucking long it takes to pull those out of every single fucking pot without damaging the original plant (we don't use herbicides for obvious reasons)? And they always grow back.

By definition, a weed is an unprofitable, troublesome, or noxious growth which is not meant to be in the area which it occupies. A tomato plant could be considered a weed if it was growing in an Easter Lilly pot.

So the terms weed and clover are exclusive?
What if I planted it, could I call it a clover then?

It's sarcasm. A weed is any plant not wanted and to a horticultural student, a clover is nothing more than a weed.

I sometimes wonder why we can't just get all the animal management kids to weed clover out of our greenhouses for us... win-win.
