Fresher wants a little paperclip piercing (7)
I believe the answer is:
lippier
'fresher' is the definition.
(fresh can mean rude or lippy)
'a little paperclip piercing' is the wordplay.
'a little' indicates a hidden word.
'LIPPIER' is hidden within 'paperclip piercing'.
'wants' is the link.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
