lucky

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

'like a chap getting a bit' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'a kiss in a girl's embrace' is the wordplay.
'a kiss in' becomes 'k' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a girl' becomes 'Lucy' (girl's name).
'embrace' indicates putting letters inside.
'k' inserted within 'lucy' is 'LUCKY'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lucky that I've seen before include "Fortunate" , "'It is better to be born . . . . . than rich'" , "Blessed with good fortune" , "by chance" , "Game where prizes are picked from a tub" .)
