It may be dished (4)
I believe the answer is:
dirt
'it may be dished' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for dirt that I've seen before include "Loose soil; filth" , "Obscenity" , "Grime, filth" , "scandalous gossip" , "Scandalous information" .)
