I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'insanely brief response to morning meeting proposal?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'insanely brief response to morning meeting' is the wordplay.
'insanely brief response' becomes 'ok' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to morning' becomes 'am' (as in ok:00 AM).
'meeting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'ok' after 'am' is 'AMOK'.

Can you help me to learn more?
