I called out, receiving cheers in a manner of speaking (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dialectal

'in a manner of speaking' is the definition.
(relating to a dialect)

'i called out receiving cheers' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'receiving' is an insertion indicator.
'cheers' becomes 'ta' (both can mean thank you).
'i'+'called'='icalled'
'icalled' is an anagram of 'dialecl'.
'dialecl' placed around 'ta' is 'DIALECTAL'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
