Brat lasso is inappropriate? (8)
I believe the answer is:
improper
'inappropriate?' is the definition.
('improper' is associated in meaning with 'inappropriate')
'brat lasso' is the wordplay.
'brat' becomes 'imp' (I've seen this in another clue).
'lasso' becomes 'roper' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'imp'+'roper'='IMPROPER'
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for improper that I've seen before include "Inappropriate" , "Naughty" , "Not in line with accepted standards of morality" , "unacceptable?" , "Not conforming to norms of conduct, maybe indecent" .)
