Excited about the possibility of getting promoted? (3,2)
I believe the answer is:
het up
'excited about' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'the possibility of getting promoted?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'the' is 'het' which is present in the answer.
'promoted?' could be 'up' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'up' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for het up that I've seen before include "in a state" , "Irate" , "in a rage?" , "Angry - excited" , "Upset, agitated" .)
