Female's rude shout and short cry after foreign article's not bold enough (10)

'not bold enough' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adjective which matches the answer.

'female's rude shout and short cry after foreign article's' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'shout' could be 'oi' ('oi' might be shouted to get someone's attention) and 'oi' is found within the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found within the answer.
'article' could be 'a' (the indefinite article in English) and 'a' is located in the answer.
'female' could be 'her' (I've seen this before) and 'her' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
