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

'bit of a joint' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both body parts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'bloke's rolling inhaled by queen' is the wordplay.
'rolling' is an anagram indicator.
'inhaled by' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are inhaled or absorbed).
'queen' becomes 'anne' (Queen Anne, 18th-century queen).
'bloke' is an anagram of 'klebo'.
'klebo' put into 'anne' is 'ANKLEBONE'.

(Another definition for anklebone that I've seen is " Talus".)
