Bad language in VIP telexes (10)
I believe the answer is:
expletives
'bad language' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are nouns, they are not in the same form of the noun.
'vip telexes' is the wordplay.
'vip telexes' can be anagrammed to 'EXPLETIVES'.
Though, I'm unsure how this is indicated.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
