Every bit of anger is currently in favour (3,3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

all the rage

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

'favour' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'every bit of anger is currently in' is the wordplay.
'every bit of' becomes 'all' (I've seen this in another clue).
'anger' becomes 'rage' (rage is a kind of anger).
'is currently' becomes 'the' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'all'+'rage'='allrage'
'allrage' enclosing 'the' is 'ALL THE RAGE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for all the rage that I've seen before include "Very much in fashion" , "Very popular (informal)" , "The in thing" , "ultra-fashionable" , "in vogue?" .)
