Fault that big-headed stupid male! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blame

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

'fault' is the definition.
('blame' can be a synonym of 'fault')

'big-headed stupid male' is the wordplay.
'big-headed' becomes 'b' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'stupid' indicates anagramming the letters (in a stupid order).
'male' is an anagram of 'lame'.
'b'+'lame'='BLAME'

'that' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blame that I've seen before include "Inculpate" , "Hold (a person) responsible" , "Impute fault to" , "Accountability" , "Attribute fault or guilt to" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
