Intimate knowledge of face-lifts going wrong (5,2,4)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
facts of life
'intimate knowledge of face-lifts going wrong' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'of face-lifts going wrong' is the wordplay.
'going wrong' indicates anagramming the letters.
'of'+'face'+'lifts'='offacelifts'
'offacelifts' is an anagram of 'FACTS OF LIFE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for facts of life that I've seen before include "Essential knowledge for teenagers?" , "The birds and the bees" , "Realities" , "Information on procreation" .)
