Crossword Genius

Choke on joke (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gag

I believe this is a double definition.

'choke on' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'joke' is the second definition.
(a gag is a joke or witticism)

(Other definitions for gag that I've seen before include "Censor" , "Part of stand-up routine" , "Muzzle in palindrome form" , "Humorous anecdote or remark" , "Palindromic muxxle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
