British eggs on the up? Excellent! (5)
I believe the answer is:
bravo
'british eggs on the up? excellent' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'british eggs on the up?' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'br' (abbreviation for British).
'eggs' becomes 'ova' (term for egg cells).
'on the up?' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (I've seen 'on the up' mean this (in a down clue, letters go up)).
'ova' written backwards gives 'avo'.
'br'+'avo'='BRAVO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bravo that I've seen before include "Expression of approval" , "Radio code word for B" , "West Indian cricket captain" , ""Well done, old chap!"" , "Hurrah!" .)
