After drinks editor gets made fun of (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teased

'made fun of' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'after drinks editor' is the wordplay.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'drinks' becomes 'teas' (tea is a kind of drink).
'editor' becomes 'ed'.
'teas'+'ed' is 'TEASED'.

'gets' is the link.

(Other definitions for teased that I've seen before include "Kidded in sedate manner" , "Poked fun" , "Baited or bantered" , "Annoyed playfully and carded wool" , "Subjected to banter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
