Bores actor about tongue (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
serbo croat
'tongue' is the definition.
(Serbo-Croat is an example)
'bores actor about' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'bores'+'actor'='boresactor'
'boresactor' with letters rearranged gives 'SERBO-CROAT'.
(Another definition for serbo croat that I've seen is " Foreign language".)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
