Affair, matter (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shebang

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'affair' is the first definition.
('shebang' can informally refer to a matter or situ)

'matter' is the second definition.
(shebang means any matter or situation)

(Other definitions for shebang that I've seen before include "circumstances" , "The whole ___ (entirely)" , "Lot" , "business" , "Matter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
