Egyptian ruler getting cloned? I disapprove! (3-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tut-tut

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

'cloned? i disapprove' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'egyptian ruler getting' is the wordplay.
'egyptian' becomes 'tut' (Tutankhamun, the ancient Egyptian pharaoh).
'ruler' becomes 'tut' (King Tut).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'tut'+'tut'='TUT-TUT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tut-tut that I've seen before include "Interjection of disapproval" , "Repetitive exclamation of impatience" , "Repetitive exclamation of disapproval or rebuke" , "Expression of irritation" , "Expression of disapproval, contempt" .)
