tis

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

'some of the british' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'it's different' is the wordplay.
'different' indicates an anagram (letters placed in a different order).
'its' with letters rearranged gives 'TIS'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tis that I've seen before include "... the season to be jolly" , "Sequel to "Angela's Ashes"" , "I confirm the identity of" , "For poet, that's" , "That thing's" .)
