Crossword Genius

Edge of the cheek? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lip

This clue is a double definition.

'edge' is the first definition.
(lip is a kind of edge)

'the cheek?' is the second definition.
(both can mean insolence or rudeness)

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for lip that I've seen before include "Aural impudence" , "Edge; impudence" , "Brim" , "Top edge of a vessel" , "Oral impudence?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
