repertoire

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

'collection of quips' is the definition.
'repertoire' can be an answer for 'collection' (repertoire is a kind of collection). I'm not certain of the 'of quips' bit.

'about cheeky oscar anger follows' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'cheeky' becomes 'pert' (pert can mean cheeky or insolent).
'oscar' becomes 'O' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'anger' becomes 'ire' (ire is intense rage).
'follows' means one lot of letters go next to another.
're'+'pert'+'o'+'ire'='REPERTOIRE'

'maybe' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for repertoire that I've seen before include "This is all actor can portray" , "The pieces a performer can play" , "Performer's set of pieces played" , "Complete range of a performer's prepared material" , "Range of works performed" .)
