Crossword Genius

Hold up cup (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mug

This clue is a double definition.

'hold up' is the first definition.
(I know that mug is a more specific form of hold up)

'cup' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for mug that I've seen before include "A person easily deceived, by gum" , "person's face" , "In slang, a person easily deceived" , "Drinking vessel, by gum" , "Fall guy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
