I think you posted this because pasting the OP results in a syntax error. The problem is actually the list in the compound command needs to be terminated with a newline or semicolon. Both of the following are equivalent correct oneliners:

clip() { [ -t 0 ] && pbpaste || pbcopy;}

function clip { [ -t 0 ] && pbpaste || pbcopy;}
