Angry over the spilt portion of soup? (3,2)
I believe the answer is:
het up
'angry' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'over the spilt portion of soup?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'over' could be 'up' (e.g. if your time is up it is over) and 'up' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'the' is 'het' which is within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for het up that I've seen before include "Irate" , "Angry - agitated" , "Indignant" , "in a state" , "On edge - agitated" .)
