Container prone to leaking - ridiculously wet, total bother (3-5,6)
I believe the answer is:
hot-water bottle
'container' is the definition.
(hot-water bottle is a kind of container)
'ridiculously wet total bother' is the wordplay.
'ridiculously' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'wet'+'total'+'bother'='wettotalbother'
'wettotalbother' is an anagram of 'HOT-WATER BOTTLE'.
'prone to leaking' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hot-water bottle that I've seen before include "comfort in retirement!" , "Bed warmer" , "night heater" .)
