Eg you exploded about line in speech containing nothing bad? (6)
I believe the answer is:
eulogy
'speech containing nothing bad?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'eg you exploded about line' is the wordplay.
'exploded' indicates an anagram.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'line' becomes 'l' (used when specifying particular lines from a poem).
'eg'+'you'='egyou'
'egyou' with letters rearranged gives 'euogy'.
'euogy' going around 'l' is 'EULOGY'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eulogy that I've seen before include "'Encomium, paean (6)'" , "Expression of praise for someone recently dead" , "Formally expressed praise" , "Funeral oration" , "Speech or piece of writing that praises highly" .)
