Cries, 'Oh!' about ostentatious antics (7)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
heroics
'cries oh about ostentatious antics' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'cries oh about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'cries'+'oh'='criesoh'
'criesoh' is an anagram of 'HEROICS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heroics that I've seen before include "verse" , "Bold and fearless behaviour" , "Bold and dramatic behaviour" , "Unduly bold behaviour" , "Outstanding performance" .)
