Gone to meet Maker? God giving little away (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deadpan

'giving little away' is the definition.
(as in delivering a joke deadpan)

'gone to meet maker god' is the wordplay.
'gone to meet maker' becomes 'dead' (euphemism).
'god' becomes 'pan' (Pan is a Greek god).
'dead'+'pan'='DEADPAN'

(Other definitions for deadpan that I've seen before include "With expressionless face" , "Keeping a straight face" , "Impassive" , "Poker-faced" , "Serious-looking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Telegraph.
