Passing remarks? (4)
I believe the answer is:
ayes
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">passing remarks?</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for ayes that I've seen before include "Affirmative votes as in committee" , "The yes votes at committee meeting" , "Nautical positive responses" , "Affirmatives at sea" , "Nautical affirmatives" .)
