bristling

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'being angry list out content of transport' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'list out content of transport' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'content' is an insertion indicator.
'of transport' becomes 'bring' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'list' is an anagram of 'istl'.
'istl' inserted within 'bring' is 'BRISTLING'.

Can you help me to learn more?
