Exaggerate awfully witty Orwellian oath (3,2,2,4,1,6)
I believe the answer is:
lay it on with a trowel
'exaggerate awfully witty orwellian oath' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'awfully witty orwellian oath' is the wordplay.
'awfully' is an anagram indicator.
'witty'+'orwellian'+'oath'='wittyorwellianoath'
'wittyorwellianoath' anagrammed gives 'LAY IT ON WITH A TROWEL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lay it on with a trowel that I've seen before include "offering advice to bricklayer with cement" , "Labour the point" .)
