They are pretty much the same thing, although they're usually called different depending on the follow-through. For example, the Clothesline From Hell and Steinerlines are usually called "lariats," because the guy doesn't just hold his arm out, he swings the arm across the face/neck/chest of the guy he's hitting. Most everybody throws regular clotheslines, though, where you just stick your arm out and the guy runs into it.
