I'm on a break, following bad upset stomachs (8)
I believe the answer is:
abdomina
'stomachs' is the definition.
(plural of abdomen)
'i'm on a break following bad upset' is the wordplay.
'break' is an anagram indicator.
'following' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'upset' indicates an anagram.
'im'+'on'+'a'='imona'
'imona' anagrammed gives 'omina'.
'bad' is an anagram of 'abd'.
'omina' after 'abd' is 'ABDOMINA'.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
